It’s not a good day for Bose — the company has just announced a recall of over 1 million bass modules that it sold from January 1994 through April 2007 in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. These modules, or subwoofers, carry a risk of electrical component failure that poses a fire hazard, according to the official recall notice from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The bass modules were sold as part of Bose’s Acoustimass, Lifestyle, and Companion home theater systems, which were home-theater-in-a-box sets that included a variety of passive, wired speakers along with the powered bass module. If your Bose system looks similar to the one pictured above, there’s a good chance it’s included in the recall.
Don’t forget, Bose also made these units in white, so if your system isn’t black, that doesn’t mean you’re out of the woods.
