Fatal Fire Risk Prompts Urgent Recall of HALO 1000 Portable Power Stations: What Victims Need to Know

A deadly fire linked to the HALO 1000 Portable Power Station has prompted an urgent nationwide recall affecting thousands of households. The recall comes after a tragic incident in Florida where a 79-year-old man lost his life due to smoke inhalation from a fire involving this device.

Understanding the HALO Recall and Its Implications

The recall affects approximately 5,740 HALO 1000 Portable Power Station units sold between October 2021 and March 2022. These high-capacity lithium-ion battery power banks, priced between $1,000 and $1,300, were distributed by ZAGG Inc., Alliance Consumer Group (ACG), and QVC Inc.

The danger stems from the device’s lithium-ion batteries, which can overheat, creating serious fire and burn hazards. Beyond the fatal incident, manufacturers have received four additional fire reports, including two cases of smoke inhalation, with one victim suffering burn injuries.

The recalled power stations include multiple color variants:

– Stone Gray (Model: PS-1000, SKU: 801108111)

Product Liability Claims with Burn Injury Damages

A product liability lawyer knows how to establish liability when a defective product injuries someone. Damages from a defective product can cause property damage like burned property or houses. A product liability attorney may also deal with serious personal injuries like burn injuries.

A burn injury lawyer handles personal injury cases involving burns. These cases require expertise in the science and medicine concerning burn injuries. They may require special medical experts and other experts to capture the long-term consequences of a burn injury to assure full compensation.

Our firm has lawyers with both kinds of experience.
