LG Energy Solution Michigan is recalling approximately 1,815 LG Chem "RESU 10H" lithium-ion residential energy storage batteries. These home batteries can overheat, creating a serious fire hazard and releasing harmful smoke. The firm has received five reports of fires causing property damage, though no injuries have been reported. These silver, wall-mounted batteries were sold by various solar energy distributors nationwide between January 2017 and March 2019 for about $8,000.
The lithium-ion batteries can overheat internally, which may lead to fires and the emission of toxic smoke within residential settings. Five incidents of fires resulting in property damage have already been documented.
Consumers with recalled batteries should immediately contact LG Energy Solution Michigan to schedule a free replacement. LG Energy Solution Michigan, its distributors and its installers also are attempting to contact all owners directly to arrange for modifications to the recalled batteries to reduce the risk of overheating until they can be replaced with new batteries.
