Description
Over 554,000 Kobalt yard power tools are being recalled due to dangerous USB-C lithium-ion batteries that can short-circuit and ignite while charging inside the tool.

Greenworks Tools, the importer, has received 34 reports of smoke, sparks, or fires — no injuries or damage yet — but urges immediate action. Stop charging these batteries while in the tool, contact Greenworks for a free replacement battery plus a charger adapter, updated manual, and warning label.
