The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has issued a report warning that over half a million Theragun PRO G4 chargers have been recalled over concerns about their potential to overheat and catch fire.
Reason for Recall
According to the FDA, 584,224 fourth-generation chargers for the Theragun PRO have been recalled after Therabody — the company that manufactures the Theragun — received reports “alleging the product caught fire and other reports regarding visible smoke, melting, charger burn, burning odor, and overheating.” The FDA has labeled the recall Class II, meaning affected products may cause temporary, reversible health effects.
Products containing the fourth-generation Theragun PRO charger are included in the recall. Check your device against the SKUs listed below.
- G4 PRO Black US – Refurb (SKU: TG02428-01)
- G4 PRO NA (SKU: G4-PRO-PKG-NA)
- G4-PRO-PKG-US (SKU: G4 PRO US)
- G4 PRO Black US – Refurb V (SKU: TG0002428-1V10)
- Pro Charger Single Unit (SKU: PRO-CHARGER-SINGLE)
Affected products can also be identified by a pair of codes: UDI-DI 00810036050135 and GTIN 810036051378.
What to Do
Therabody has ordered all distributors and resellers to remove the recalled products from shelves, but has yet to issue guidance for consumers, and “is currently evaluating and addressing the issue,” according to the FDA’s report.
If you have immediate concerns, the company offers virtual customer support through its website.
