Bose recalled lithium-ion battery packs for its S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ Bluetooth speaker systems.[^1] The packs can overheat and ignite, which poses a risk of fire and injury.[^2]

## The numbers

About 634,759 of the packs were sold in the United States and 35,400 in Canada.[^3] That is about 670,000 in the two countries.

Seven incident reports exist, six of them involving property damage. No injuries were reported.[^4]

## Eight and a half years of sales

The packs were sold from December 2017 through July 2026.[^5] Retailers included Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart.[^6] The packs were manufactured in China.[^7]

## What owners should do

Consumers must remove the recalled battery packs and stop using them immediately.[^8] The speakers may still be used on AC power once the pack is out.[^9]

Free replacement packs are available through the official Bose recall website.[^10]

The old packs need care on the way out. They should not go in regular trash, general recycling or retail battery bins.[^11]
