Lithium-Ion Battery Packs for Bose Speakers Recalled After Overheating Concerns
Seven battery packs have melted, smoked or caught fire, and six reports of property damage have been logged, Bose said.
Bose and the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall on Thursday for nearly 635,000 lithium-ion battery packs in the U.S., with about 35,400 also recalled in Canada due to fire risks.
Following seven reports of battery packs melting, producing smoke, or catching fire, Bose initiated the safety measure; six of those incidents resulted in property damage.
The affected battery packs were sold with Bose Portable Bluetooth Speaker Systems between December 2017 and July 2026, retailing separately for between $100 and $160.
Consumers should immediately remove and stop using affected batteries; those checking the 17-digit serial number on Bose's website can request a free replacement.
The New York Fire Department reported 406 battery-related fires in New York City this year, resulting in 70 injuries and nine deaths, reflecting broader lithium-ion safety concerns.
