Whistler is recalling approximately 10,400 Jump&Go Portable Jumpstart & Power Supply units because the lithium battery can overheat. There have been 45 reports of these devices melting or catching fire, including 18 fires that resulted in roughly $16,000 in property damage. The pocket-sized devices were sold in red, black, yellow, and pink and were available at retailers like Walmart and Radio Shack, and online through Amazon, from May 2014 through October 2014. Whistler is providing free replacement units to affected consumers.
The unit's internal lithium battery can overheat, causing the plastic casing to melt and potentially ignite. This poses a serious fire hazard that can lead to property damage or personal injury if the unit catches fire near flammable materials.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled unit and contact Whistler for a free replacement, including shipping to return the recalled unit.
