The hazard: Fire or burn hazard

This product can overheat or catch fire, which is why the instruction is to unplug and stop using it rather than to keep an eye on it.

What the notice says: The lithium-ion battery in the recalled battery packs can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.

Why it matters: The product can overheat, ignite or cause a burn. Where lithium batteries are involved the failure is fast and very hot, and water does not put it out quickly.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

Treat a burn by cooling it under running water for about 20 minutes — not with ice, butter or ointment — and cover it loosely with a clean non-fluffy cloth. Get medical help for burns that are larger than the person’s palm, that are deep or white or charred, that involve the face, hands, feet or genitals, or any burn to a baby or young child. If someone has inhaled smoke and is coughing, hoarse or short of breath, call 911.

Products covered by this recall

This recall involves The Blue Cactus Company Reclining Chair 2500 mAh battery packs with model number RWX-RBP02. The battery packs are black with the brand logo and brand name of "The Blue Cactus Company" imprinted on the front. The recalled battery packs can be identified by the model number RWX-RBP02 printed on the rear of the product and were designed to be used with various brands of reclining chairs. Note: Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or in used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact it ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.

What to do about Fire

This product can overheat or catch fire, which is why the instruction is to unplug and stop using it rather than to keep an eye on it.

  1. Stop using it and unplug it from the wall. If it runs on a battery pack, stop charging it.
  2. Do not leave it charging overnight or while the house is empty while you wait for the remedy.
  3. If it has already overheated, scorched or swelled, do not keep using it and do not try to repair it.
  4. Check that your smoke alarms work while you are thinking about it, and follow the remedy on this page.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • Have the model number, the date code and your photos ready. Many companies issue store credit by default — ask for cash or a card reversal if you would rather have it.
  • No receipt? Say so. Recall refunds are routinely paid without proof of purchase, because the hazard is what triggers the obligation.
  • If you bought it from a retailer rather than the brand, try both. Target, Walmart and Amazon often refund recalled goods from the order history.

Remedy named in the notice: Consumers should stop using the recalled battery packs immediately and contact The Blue Cactus Company for a replacement battery pack.
