What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: Scored 4 because five battery fires or explosions have already been reported, which the rubric treats as significant incident reports.

The lithium-ion battery in the light can overheat and catch fire, posing fire and burn hazards. The firm has received five reports of the battery catching fire or exploding. No injuries have been reported.

About 3,790 units were sold at independent bicycle retailers nationwide and online at Amazon between January 2023 and August 2025 for between $60 and $100.
