The U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission said Tuesday that
Happy Plugs was recalling wireless headphones and the included
micro-UBS charging cable, as the product presented a burn
hazard.
The CPSC said the charging cable could cause the headphones to
overheat.
The product was sold at Macy's (M) stores in the U.S. and online
at happyplugs.com from January through May of this year. The
headphones retailed for between $10 and $40.
Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled headphones and
charging cable, the CPSC said. They can be returned to place of
purchase, or customers can contact Happy Plugs. Consumers will be
given free replacement headphones and charging cable, the CPSC
said.
According to the CPSC, Happy Plugs received a report of the
headphones overheating while plugged into the charging cables, but
no injuries have been reported.
