Audio-Technica is recalling approximately 7,450 charging cases sold with ATH-CK3TW wireless headphones because the plastic cases can overheat, posing a fire hazard. There have been four reports of the cases overheating outside of the United States, which caused damage to the cases and the surfaces where they were being charged. These headphones were sold in black, blue, white, and red between December 2019 and February 2021 at retailers like Amazon and Best Buy. Consumers should stop using the cases and contact Audio-Technica for a free replacement.
The charging cases can malfunction and overheat during the charging process, creating a risk of fire and property damage to surrounding surfaces. While four incidents of overheating and surface damage have been reported internationally, no injuries have occurred to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the charging cases and contact Audio-Technica for instructions on returning the charging cases for a free replacement charging case. Audio-Technica will provide consumers with a prepaid return shipping label and will send consumers a replacement charging case upon receipt of the returned case.
