American Outdoor Brands is recalling approximately 13,740 Caldwell E-Max® Pro BT Earmuffs (black) that were sold with rechargeable lithium-battery packs. These products were sold nationwide at stores like Bass Pro Shops, Midway USA, and Amazon between April 2021 and May 2021 for about $100. The battery packs can overheat because of faulty internal wiring, posing a fire and burn hazard; consumers should immediately remove the battery and contact the company for free replacement alkaline batteries.
The soldering inside the lithium-battery pack housing can allow wires to detach, leading to an electrical short and unit overheating. This defect creates a direct risk of fire or burn injuries to the user while wearing the earmuffs, though no injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately remove the recalled lithium-battery pack from the earmuffs and contact American Outdoor Brands for disposal instructions in accordance with local laws and to receive free replacement alkaline batteries; including shipping.
