Southwire is recalling about 24,000 WiOn Indoor In-wall Wi-Fi Switches because they can overheat and pose a fire hazard. These white switches feature a green "WiOn" logo and are used to control home lights and appliances via a smartphone app. Consumers should immediately stop using the switches and contact Southwire for a full refund and a $4 credit toward a standard replacement switch. Southwire will also reimburse consumers for the cost of hiring an electrician to remove and replace the recalled unit.
The internal components of the Wi-Fi switch can overheat during use, creating a risk of fire. While no injuries or incidents have been reported to date, the defect poses a significant safety risk to the home.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled switches and contact Southwire to receive $4 to purchase a standard (non Wi-Fi) replacement switch. In addition, consumers will receive a full refund once the recalled Wi-Fi switch is returned to Southwire. Consumers should hire an electrician to perform the replacement and Southwire will reimburse them for this cost.
