Insolroll Recalls Roller Shades with Solar and Rechargeable Motors Due to Fire Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Insolroll is recalling approximately 1,500 roller shades equipped with solar-powered (model #IN-SOL-R) or rechargeable (model #IN-RCG-R) motors. The lithium battery built into these motors can overheat while charging, which poses a serious fire hazard. One incident of a motor overheating and causing a fire has been reported, though no injuries have occurred. These shades were sold by independent window covering installers nationwide between June 2012 and March 2013.

Risk

The internal lithium-ion battery in the shade's motor can overheat during the charging process, creating an ignition source that can lead to a fire.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop charging the shades by unplugging the solar panel charger or the black plug-in charger from the motor.
  2. Check the motor body located inside the roller tube for model numbers IN-SOL-R (solar powered) or IN-RCG-R (rechargeable) to see if your shade is affected.
  3. You can also identify the product by checking for the manufacturer's name on a sticker on the roller tube, which is visible if you take down the shade and remove the fabric.
  4. The solar panel charger is 18 inches wide and 1-5/16 inches high (white on the inside, black on the outside), while the plug-in charger is a black block measuring approximately 3 x 1-5/8 x 1-1/16 inches with a 13-foot cord.
  5. Contact your Insolroll dealer to receive a free replacement motor and installation instructions. If you do not know your dealer, contact Insolroll directly at (800) 447-5534 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday or visit www.Insolroll.com.
  6. For additional questions, contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
