Bose S1 Pro and S1 Pro+ System Battery Packs are being recalled due to fire and burn hazards. “The continued operation of the affected battery packs as they age exposes the lithium-ion cells to potentially damaging operating conditions, posing potential fire and burn hazards,” according to Health Canada’s notice.
