“The speaker’s lithium-ion battery can overheat and catch fire, posing a fire hazard to consumers,” Health Canada’s recall statement stated. It was issued on Thursday.

There have been no reported incidents or injuries in Canada, but there have been six reports of battery overheating and melting in the U.S., with no injuries, according to the recall.

Health Canada says that customers should immediately stop using the device and contact Yoto to receive a free replacement smart charging cable.

There were 19,721 affected units sold in Canada, according to the company, while 251,165 were sold in the U.S., which also has recalled the product.
