Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Firewood is recalling about 400 of its Firewood 4 vaporizers because an electrical short can occur within the device, causing the battery to vent and catch fire. One incident has already been reported where a battery vented and caught fire due to a short circuit, although no injuries have been reported. These wooden vaporizers were sold both finished and unfinished through Firewoodvapes.com between October 2016 and June 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these devices and contact the firm for a free repair.

Risk

An internal electrical short circuit can cause the vaporizer's battery to overheat and vent gas, which can lead to the device catching fire and posing a serious burn and fire hazard to users.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using all Firewood 4 vaporizers.
  2. Identify your device by checking for the Firewood logo printed on the bottom and verifying the dimensions (approximately 2 inches wide by 3.5 inches tall by 7/8 inches thick).
  3. Look for a sliding battery compartment cover on the wooden body of the vaporizer, which identifies the affected Model 4.
  4. Contact Firewood to arrange for a free repair of the recalled unit. You can reach them at 781-738-3838 (collect call) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or by email at recall@firewoodvapes.com.
