Do you trust everyday gadgets' batteries to be safe in your home?

Bose is recalling more than 600,000 lithium-ion battery packs used in its S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ portable Bluetooth speaker systems. The company has received seven reports of battery packs melting, producing smoke, or catching fire, with six involving property damage and no injuries reported.

Why it matters

The recall covers a large number of consumer devices and battery packs that were also sold separately as accessories or replacement parts, meaning owners who may not have the original speaker are affected. Consumers with affected units face a fire and overheating hazard until the battery pack is removed from service.

The recall covers battery packs with serial numbers beginning 083723, 078352, 084105, 078591, 078592, 084106, or 086409, printed as a 17-digit number on a label on the bottom of each pack. Seven incident reports have been filed, six of them involving property damage.

Roadmap

Lithium-ion battery failures in consumer electronics have prompted recurring recalls across product categories, and this Bose recall extends that pattern to portable audio. The recall highlights how battery packs sold as separate accessories can carry the same hazards as the devices they power.

Owners of S1 Pro or S1 Pro+ speakers should check the 17-digit serial number on the bottom of the battery pack against the affected list. Affected users should remove the pack and stop using it immediately, then contact Bose support for a free replacement.

The takeaway

If you own an S1 Pro or S1 Pro+ speaker, locate the 17-digit serial number on the battery pack's bottom label and compare it to the recall list. Remove and stop using any affected pack, and contact Bose support for a free replacement.
