May 22, 2019 — ION Audio has recalled about 41,000 portable speakers because they can explode and cause injuries or property damage.
ION Audio LLC, of Cumberland, Rhode Island announced the recall after 5 reports of the speakers exploding, including 4 reports of property damage. No injuries were reported.
