soundcore A3102 Speaker Recall (Black)
We have discovered that due to a problem with manufacturing conditions, a small number of our soundcore speakers (manufactured in March and April, 2023) may have battery issues that cause a potential fire safety risk. The safety of our customers is our highest priority, and that's why we are issuing a voluntary recall for the soundcore A3102 speaker(Black).
Anker has reported this issue to CPSC and is presently working with the recall.
If your soundcore A3102 speaker is identified as having one of the affected battery cells, we will send you a new one as a replacement.
We urge all customers with a soundcore speaker to follow the steps below.
Please Note: Below models and colors are NOT included in the recall:
1. Look at the bottom of your soundcore speaker (see image below) to see if it is model A3102.
2. Locate the 16-digit serial number on the bottom of the device. If your product's SN is not 16 digits, it means your product is normal and is not within the scope of this recall.
3. Click here to enter the serial number and verify whether your speaker contains the affected battery cells.
Additionally, the system is designed so that characters that are not used in the serial cannot be entered.
If your soundcore speaker is identified as having the affected battery cells, please follow the instructions below:
1. Switch off the speaker immediately.
2. Once we have confirmed your information, our customer service team will provide guidelines on how to return or dispose of your speaker.
