Apple® today announced a voluntary recall of Beats Pill® XL speakers,
including a refund for customers. Apple has determined that, in rare
cases, the battery in the Beats Pill XL may overheat and pose a fire
safety risk. The recall does not affect any other Beats or Apple
products.
Because customer safety is the company’s top priority, Apple is asking
customers to stop using their Beats Pill XL speakers. Customers who
purchased a Beats Pill XL speaker should visit www.apple.com/support/beats-pillxl-recall
for details about how to return their product to Apple, and how to
receive an Apple Store® credit or electronic payment of $325.
The Beats Pill XL can be identified by the Beats “b” logo on the speaker
grille and the words “beats pill XL” on the handle. The product is sold
in five colors: black, metallic sky, pink, titanium and white.
The Beats Pill XL was introduced by Beats by Dre in November 2013. Apple
acquired Beats in 2014.
