Jazwares Recalls America's Got Talent Microphones Due to Battery Fire Hazard

Jazwares recalls about 125,000 America's Got Talent microphones whose lithium-ion batteries can overcharge and ignite. Three incidents with fire damage have been reported, but no injuries.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: Three confirmed incidents of battery ignition with documented property damage (fire damage to walls and floors) justify a Severe classification. Although no injuries were reported, actual damage to property meets the rubric criterion for significant property-damage reports.

Plain-English summary

Jazwares LLC is recalling approximately 125,000 America's Got Talent (AGT) microphones sold in the United States, plus about six sold in Canada. The microphones amplify the user's voice and feature treble, bass, and echo switches. They are powered by a rechargeable, non-removable lithium-ion battery.

The lithium-ion batteries in the recalled microphones can overcharge and ignite, posing a fire hazard. Jazwares has received three reports of the batteries igniting, resulting in smoke and fire damage to walls and floors. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled microphones were sold at Meijer, DD's Discounts, Ross, Target, Nebraska Furniture Mart, Amazon.com, and Target.com between October 2020 and October 2022, priced between $20 and $25. The microphones are black with the AGT logo and measure 10.5 inches long. SKU numbers AGT0002 (microphone only) and TMS0002 (microphone with poster) are located on the bottom of the integrated speaker.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled microphones and contact Jazwares for a full refund in the form of a pre-paid gift card. Consumers must dispose of the microphone in accordance with local and state regulations and not in ordinary trash.
