Jabra Headset Recall
Jabra, the maker of headsets for phones, has made a recall of one of its popular sets. The GN9120 wireless headsets have been recalled due to reports of the ATL lithium-ion polymer battery overheating, which can cause burns.
The cause of the overheating is believed to be an internal short circuit. Around half a million of the headsets, used primarily in offices and call centers, are involved in the recall. The headsets were sold through GN Netcom and others between January 2005 and September 2008 at a cost of between $150 and $350.
Those headsets involved in the recall have a light or dark grey base station and the name GN Netcom or GN9120 on the front of the base station and headset. The GN9120 LR with the black base station is not part of the recall.
To check to see if you have an ATL battery, lift the headset up and take off the ear cushion. After separating the boom arm and speaker from wearing style, you should be able to see the battery. If the headset has a battery with a white plastic enclosure that does not have a “Made by Synergy” sticker, please stop using the headset and unplug the power adapter immediately.
The battery can be replaced by calling 877-803-6467 or by contacting Jabra through their web page .
