Plain-English summary
Bench seating in Sauna360's Tylo branded Halmstad and Kiruna Hybrid sauna rooms is being recalled. The serial number appears on both the packaging and the sauna room: for Halmstad 2, 3 and 4 rooms it is beneath the upper bench on the left side, directly above the electrical contactor box.
The saunas contain a bench that can collapse, posing a fall hazard. Sauna360 has received seven reports of benches breaking, including one consumer with head and neck injuries.
About 1,000 units were sold through various distributors nationwide from July 2024 through December 2024 for between $6,000 and $12,000.
Consumers should stop using the benches immediately and contact Sauna360 for a free repair. A professional installer will retrofit the benches with additional hardware, and owners will receive a revised product manual that includes the weight limit.
