Summary

Renogy has recalled approximately 1,500 of its 100-watt bendable solar panels because they can overheat, posing a fire hazard. The firm has received 11 reports of these panels overheating, including three instances that resulted in property damage. The recalled panels are black plastic sheets measuring about 41 inches long by 21 inches wide and 1/8 inch thick, sold online at Amazon.com, eBay.com, and Renogy-store.com between May 2015 and October 2015 for approximately $300. Consumers should stop using these panels immediately and contact Renogy for a free replacement.

Risk
