On November 5, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that Bose is recalling about 634,759 lithium-ion battery packs for its S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ portable Bluetooth speaker systems because they can overheat and ignite. Bose has received seven reports of battery packs melting, producing smoke, or catching fire, including six reports of property damage. No injuries have been reported. The packs were sold nationwide from December 2017 through July 2026, so they may be sitting in Pittsburgh-area basements, garages, and party gear bins. (CPSC recall 27-065)
How to check your battery pack
The recall involves lithium-ion rechargeable battery packs used in Bose S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ Portable Bluetooth Speaker Systems. Look at the 17-digit serial number printed on a label on the bottom of the battery pack. The pack is recalled if the serial number begins with any of these six digits: 083723, 078352, 084105, 078591, 078592, 084106, or 086409.
The speaker and the battery pack have separate serial numbers, so be sure to check the one on the battery pack itself. Bose’s recall page explains how to power off the speaker, remove the bottom plate, and pull the battery out to read the label.
The packs were sold at Bose, Best Buy, and other retailers nationwide and online at Amazon.com, Bose.com, BestBuy.com, Walmart.com, and other websites for $100 to $160 on their own. The speaker systems were sold with the battery packs for $700.
What to do
- Remove the recalled battery pack from the speaker and stop using it immediately.
- Keep using the speaker on AC power with the battery pack removed.
- Register the battery pack serial number at bose.com/support/s1-battery-recall for a free replacement, or call Bose at 800-278-1083.
- Do not throw the recalled pack in the trash, curbside recycling, or store battery drop-off boxes. Call your municipal household hazardous waste center first and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries.
- If you had an overheating incident, report it on SaferProducts.gov.
