The R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company has issued a voluntary recall of over 2.6 million Vuse Vibe power units. The company received 10 complaints from users about faulty and malfunctioning batteries. The company states that the batteries may lead to overheating and start fires.
Consumers who are using the Vuse Vibe units- Vuse Solo and Ciro are not included- are advised to stop using the devices immediately, unscrew the tank from the power unit and call (800) 369-8200 for further instructions. Consumers are asked to not charge their Vuse Vibe power unit as this could lead to overheating and possibly catch fire.
As of late-April, the company had received 10 complaints. There is no indication that anyone had been injured due to the issue. The company is currently working with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the voluntary recall and plans to return selling Vibe Vuse on the market soon after the issue is resolved.
