(MENAFN) US smartphone maker giant Apple Inc. said it is recalling some Beats Pill XL portable wireless speakers due to a fire hazard caused by overheating batteries, Arab News reported.
The iPhone maker will recall about 222,000 speakers in the US and about 11,000 in Canada, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said. Apple has received eight reports of overheating speakers.
The company did not disclose the number of speakers affected by the recall or the number of complaints it received, but said the recall does not affect any other Beats or Apple products.
Apple agreed to buy Beats for about USD3 billion in May 2014 in an effort to jump-start an uneven attempt to make headway in music streaming as iTunes sales were declining.
