Anker recalled thousands of Soundcore and PowerConf Bluetooth speakers due to batteries overheating and causing fires.
Anker is recalling thousands of Soundcore and PowerConf Bluetooth speakers this week due to reports of incidents related to the batteries of the devices. According to the recall notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission , there have been 33 reports to date, with some involving smoking and small fires as well as one minor burn injury. The notice says the affected models—A3102016, A3302011, and A3302031—were exclusively sold online on Amazon.
If your speaker has faulty battery cells, power it off immediately and wait for Anker's customer service team to provide guidelines on how to return or dispose of your speaker. It's worth noting that if you own the red or blue Soundcore speaker or the newer Soundcore 2 or Soundcore 3 models, your device isn't part of this recall.
