Knog is recalling about 3,790 Blinder 900 and Blinder 1300 front bicycle lights because the internal lithium-ion battery can overheat. The company has received five reports of batteries catching fire or exploding, which can lead to serious burns or property damage. These black lights were sold nationwide at independent bicycle shops and on Amazon.com between January 2023 and August 2025. Consumers can receive a free replacement light by registering through the manufacturer's recall website.
The lithium-ion battery inside the light can overheat during use or charging, causing the device to catch fire or explode. This presents a direct risk of fire and thermal burns to the user or nearby property.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycle light and register at http://www.knog.com/recall for instructions on how to receive a free replacement bicycle light. Consumers should dispose of the lithium-ion batteries in accordance with local and state regulations and not discard it in the household trash. Do not dispose of the light until you receive confirmation from Knog that your unit qualifies for the recall.
Batch codes are printed on the underside of the light. The word 'Blinder' is imprinted on the light's handle.
