Why it was recalled
Charging the lithium-ion batteries through the USB-C port, while the batteries are inserted in the yard power tools can cause the batteries to short-circuit, posing a risk of serious injury from fire hazard.
Incidents and injuries
The firm has received 34 reports of the batteries producing smoke, sparking or catching fire while the batteries are inserted in the tool and charging with the USB-C port. No injuries or property damage have been reported.
Official remedy
Consumers should stop charging the batteries with the USB-C port while the batteries are inserted in the yard power tools immediately and contact Greenworks Tools to receive a free replacement battery. Consumers will be asked to complete the registration form at https://www.greenworkstools.com/pages/kobalt-product-recall to receive replacement batteries without the USB-C port, a charger adapter, a warning label to affix on the yard power tool, an updated product manual and a pre-paid shipping label along with instructions for returning the recalled batteries.
