Anker Speakers and Polaris Vehicles Recalled Over Safety Concerns

Anker is recalling nearly 80,000 Soundcore and PowerConf Bluetooth speakers in the U.S. and Canada due to reports of lithium-ion batteries overheating and causing fires. Sold between March and October 2023, these speakers were available on Amazon and often discounted during major sales events. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has received 33 reports of overheating incidents, including one minor burn injury. Affected models include the Soundcore A3102 and PowerConf A3302. Consumers are advised to stop using the speakers and contact Anker for a refund. Defective batteries should be recycled at designated locations.
