APPLE ISSUES RECALL OF BEATS XL SPEAKERS


Apple announced that it was issuing a global recall of its line of Beats Pill XL wireless speakers, citing concerns that the speaker’s battery could overheat, posing a fire hazard.

Apple has reported cases of overheating from the speakers, which retail for around $330. In one of those cases, a user burned a finger while another user saw his or her desk burned by the overheating speaker.

Customers returning the speakers can choose between an Apple Store credit of $325 or having that amount directly deposited into their bank account. You can find more details about the recall and the return procedure at Apple’s recall page.

Our Atlanta defective products lawyers are pleased that Apple is moving to recall these potentially dangerous speakers.  Still, recalls always raise questions about the manufacturing and design process. In the coming months, we expect to see journalists ask these tough questions of one of America’s most successful companies.

Recalls are serious. If you have a Beats Pill XL wireless speaker, we urge you to visit the recall page linked above and return the equipment as soon as possible.
