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).
AAnker has reported this issue to CPSC and released a joint recall notice. You can refer to the notice from CPSC via https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/Anker-Soundcore-Lithium-Ion-Battery-Powered-Bluetooth-Speakers-Recalled-Due-to-Fire-Hazard-Sold-Exclusively-on-Amazon-com-by-Anker-Innovations.

We are taking all necessary measures to ensure your safety and satisfaction. Although only a very small number of products may be affected by this issue, out of an abundance of caution, we are reaching out to customers who purchased the product between March 1, 2023 and June 6, 2024 to begin the recall program.
