Approximately 4,500 Glacier Bay and Schön touchless kitchen faucets are being recalled because the battery box used to power the sensor can short circuit, overheat, or melt. There have been six reports of battery boxes smoking or melting, including one fire and one report of a consumer suffering a thumb burn. These faucets, sold in various finishes like chrome and stainless steel, were sold exclusively at Home Depot stores and online between March 2015 and May 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using the battery-powered feature and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement battery box.
The faucet's battery box can short circuit and overheat, posing a direct fire hazard to the home and a risk of burn injuries to anyone touching the box or nearby components. One fire and one burn injury have already been reported.
Consumers should immediately unplug and remove batteries from the faucet's battery box and contact Lota USA for a replacement battery box for the faucet.
