About 22,000 Lorex brand video monitors are being recalled because the blue lithium polymer batteries can overheat, swell, and expand. This can cause the battery cover to open or come off, exposing consumers to hot batteries. Lorex has received 328 reports of batteries overheating or expanding, though no injuries have been reported yet. These black monitors were sold in 7-inch and 9-inch sizes as part of surveillance video systems at Best Buy and online from April 2014 through March 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using these monitors and contact Lorex for a full refund.
The monitor's battery can swell and force the battery compartment open, exposing hot internal components. This poses a direct burn hazard to anyone handling the device or touching the exposed battery.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled monitors and contact Lorex for instructions on receiving a full refund.
