DiNotte Lighting is recalling about 1,700 lithium-ion batteries used with bicycle lights.
The recall, in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, has been ordered because a loose wiring connection and improper venting can cause the battery to overheat, posing a burn hazard to consumers. [Recall notice]
No incidents or injuries have been reported, however. Consumers are urged to stop using the battery and contact the company for a free replacement.
Manufactured in the US and China by AA Portable Power Corp. of Richmond, California, the batteries are distributed by DiNotte Lighting of Hampton, New Hampshire. They were sold at nationwide retailers for $200 to $400 between February 2006 and March 2007.
The DiNotte Lighting Lithium-Ion batteries with nylon bags, pictured above, are used with DiNotte 5W Li-Ion bicycle lights and DiNotte 3 LED police lights. The DiNotte logo is printed on the battery cable connector.
