According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the chargers can ignite or cause a connected battery to ignite, posing fire and burn hazards. There have been at least 32 reports of fire and other thermal incidents, including five reports of significant property damage and one report of injury.
The December 12, 2024, recall includes about 34,600 HTRC C240 Battery Chargers sold for charging lithium-ion batteries. Thermal problems in lithium-ion batteries occur when excessive heat is generated during charging, discharging, or physical damage. This can lead to overheating, thermal runaway, and fires. The recalled chargers are black with two blue screens and “C240 DUO” printed between them. “HTRC” is printed at the bottom left corner of the device.
The battery chargers were sold at AliExpress.com, Amazon.com, Banggood.com, eBay.com, HTRC-Direct.com, and RCGoing.com from December 2017 through June 2024 for between $65 and $290.
