Hearing Lab Technology and Lucid Audio have recalled approximately 31,150 Children's HearMuffs sound compression ear muffs. The AAA alkaline batteries included with the powered ear muffs can rupture, which can cause chemical burns, hearing damage, or injuries from flying battery parts. The company has received 19 reports of batteries rupturing, although no injuries have been reported at this time. The affected products were sold at Sam's Club, Kroger, and online from January 2018 through December 2021 for between $30 and $40.
The batteries can rupture while the product is in use or storage, posing risks of projectile injuries from ejected battery components and skin irritation or chemical burns from battery contents. Additionally, the sound of a battery rupturing while worn can potentially damage a child's hearing.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled HearMuffs and contact Hearing Lab Technology/Lucid Audio to receive two new replacement AAA batteries free of charge.
Only powered HearMuffs which use two AAA Alkaline batteries are included in this recall. Look for 'HearMuff' in blue lettering.
