The recalled product bears the model number RWX-RBP02 on the rear. These batteries were designed to power various reclining chair brands, meaning they may have been sold alongside different manufacturers&#8217; furniture or as replacement parts.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>If you purchased a reclining chair battery pack from Amazon between May 2023 and July 2026 for around $105, it is important that you check the battery against the model number. The product is fairly distinctive: it comes with a black casing, and the branding is unmistakable. Look for the model number to know whether your battery falls under this recall.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>What should you do?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component iIpbx undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Li-ion battery\" msid=\"134478287\" imgsize=\"623024\" resizemode=\"4\" width=\"\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"47529300\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/imgsize-623024,msid-134478287\/li-ion-battery.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If your recliner has the recalled battery, it is important that you stop using it right away and contact The Blue Cactus Company for a replacement. <!-- -->The company said it is offering free replacements for the recalled product. You may need to reference your purchase receipt or product information when reaching out.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>In the meantime, remove the battery pack from your reclining chair and store it away from living areas, ideally in a cool, dry place away from other flammable materials.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>\u201cDo not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., <!-- -->street-level or kerbside recycling bins), or in used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores,\u201d the CPSC said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>The agency urged that the recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently from other batteries, as they present a greater risk of fire. \u201cYour municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection centre may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. <!-- -->Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection centre, contact it ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries.<!-- --> If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance,\u201d the agency added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"32\"\/>The recalled battery packs were imported by Go North Rocket 28 AB, a company based in Sweden. They were sold exclusively through Amazon during the three-year window. You can contact the manufacturer directly or work through Amazon customer service if you still have your order history.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>If you have the recalled batteries, the safest approach is to treat them as a potential hazard until you have obtained a replacement. Check your Amazon order history if you cannot recall whether you own one of these packs. The model number RWX-RBP02 is the specific identifier to verify. If you find one in your home, do not use it, and begin the process of getting it replaced and properly disposed of.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/world\/us\/about-51000-battery-packs-used-inside-reclining-chairs-are-being-recalled-after-reports-of-overheating-smoking-and-igniting-the-packs-were-sold-on-amazon-for-about-105-for-more-than-three-years\/articleshow\/134478004.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recalled approximately 51,000 lithium-ion battery packs used in reclining chairs after reports of the batteries overheating and catching fire.
