Turtle Beach is recalling about 59,500 Ear Force® XO FOUR Stealth gaming headsets because mold spores were found on the product. These headsets, primarily marketed for Xbox One, are black with green trim and were sold between June and September 2015. There have been six reports of mold on these headsets, although no injuries have been reported. Consumers should return the unit for a free replacement.
The presence of mold on the headsets poses a risk of respiratory or other infections, particularly for individuals with chronic health problems or compromised immune systems.
Consumers should immediately place the recalled headset into a plastic bag with the original box and any components, tie or tape the bag closed, and contact Turtle Beach for instructions on how to return the product for a free replacement gaming headset.
