Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

VOX Amplification is recalling approximately 4,200 Night Train Amplifier Carrying Cases sold in the United States. The recall involves nylon carrying cases with metal clasps and a nylon arm strap, which were sold with Night Train guitar amplifiers (model number NT15H) between April 2009 and April 2010. The cases were sold at music instrument stores nationwide and online for approximately $700 for the amplifier, with the case included.

The recall is being issued because the clasp on the shoulder strap is defective and can fail. If the clasp fails, the amplifier can fall, posing a risk of injury to consumers. The company has received two reports of clasps failing, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately remove and stop using the carrying case with the strap. They should contact VOX Amplification at (800) 645-3188 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.voxamps.com, to obtain a free replacement strap with a new clasp.
