a voluntary recall of its Beats Pill XL speakers, after discovering that the device’s battery can overheat and catch on fire.
While the company claims that this is “rare”, it is nevertheless asking customers to stop using the speakers and return them, claiming a full refund of £215 in the UK, and $325 in the US.
“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,” explained a statement from the company.
