Bose Recalls EdgeMax® and FreeSpace® Loudspeakers Due to Injury Hazard (Recall Alert)

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

About 77,500 Bose professional EdgeMax and FreeSpace loudspeakers are being recalled because their mounting components can break, causing the speakers to fall from the ceiling. The recall includes various models of in-ceiling and flush-mount loudspeakers, typically sold in black or white with "Bose" engraved on the front. These units were sold between 2002 and 2019 through authorized resellers for commercial use. There have been nine reports of speakers falling, including one report of minor injuries. Bose is offering free replacements or free safety cables to secure affected units.

Risk

The mounting hardware can fail over time, especially in environments like commercial kitchens, causing the heavy loudspeaker to unexpectedly dislodge and fall onto anyone below. This poses a significant risk of impact injuries to people in the area.

What You Should Do

  1. Locate the label on the back of the loudspeaker to identify the model number and manufacturing date.
  2. Check if your model is a FreeSpace DS 40F in-ceiling/flush-mount loudspeaker manufactured before August 13, 2018.
  3. Identify if you have any EdgeMax (EM90/EM180) or FreeSpace in-ceiling/flush-mount loudspeakers installed specifically in commercial cooking environments, as all such units are included in this recall regardless of date.
  4. Immediately stop using any affected loudspeakers and contact Bose at 800-576-1503 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email BMSSafety@bose.com for instructions on receiving a free replacement or free safety cables.
  5. Visit www.BoseBMSsafety.com or www.pro.bose.com and click on the safety announcement for more detailed identification information and support.
  6. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions regarding this safety alert.
