Summary

Brookstone has recalled about 164,000 Big Blue Party indoor/outdoor wireless speakers because the lithium-ion battery packs can overheat and catch fire. There have been 12 reports of these speakers catching fire, including five reports of property damage totaling approximately $2,000. These silver or gray speakers were sold at stores like Macy's, Brookstone, and Ace Hardware, and online at Amazon.com from December 2013 through August 2018. Consumers should immediately stop using these speakers and contact the Omni Management Group to inquire about a possible refund following Brookstone's bankruptcy filing.
