What Is the Arizer Solo III Vaporizer?

The Arizer Solo III is a portable electronic vaporizer powered by an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The recalled version has an Intergalactic Black finish and a rigid anodized aluminum housing.

The device includes a front-facing digital display used for temperature and operating settings. It also has a stainless steel heating chamber and removable glass components.

The recall is limited to devices with serial numbers beginning with one of the following prefixes:

  • M3B1G5
  • M3F4G6
  • M35C43
  • M3PN54
  • M3SR42
  • M38G53
  • M3G576
  • M3C121

The serial number is etched on the bottom of the vaporizer and printed on the product packaging. The affected packaging also displays UPC 628078802274.

Which Arizer Solo III Vaporizers Were Recalled?

The recall applies only to Arizer Solo III vaporizers in the Intergalactic Black color with one of the listed serial-number prefixes. Other colors or serial-number ranges should not be assumed to be affected.

The recalled devices were sold from May 2025 through January 2026 for approximately $300. Sales occurred through specialty, health and wellness, and adult novelty stores nationwide and through Arizer.com.

Consumers should compare the complete product identity, color, serial-number prefix, and packaging UPC with the recall notice. Receipts, card records, order emails, photographs, and packaging may help document a purchase.

The recall applies even when a device has not shown signs of battery failure. Owners should stop using affected vaporizers rather than attempting to determine whether an individual battery is safe.

Why Were Arizer Solo III Vaporizers Recalled?

The internal lithium-ion battery can explode or ignite. A battery failure can release heat, flames, smoke, hot gases, or damaged material from inside the device.

The risk may be particularly serious because a portable vaporizer can be held close to the hands, face, torso, or lap. It may also be charged or stored near bedding, clothing, furniture, electronics, vehicle interiors, or other combustible property.

The U.S. Fire Administration identifies excessive heat, unusual odors, leaking, discoloration, shape changes, and abnormal noises as warning signs of lithium-ion battery failure [3]

Consumers should not continue using a recalled device simply because it has not displayed a warning sign. The recall directs owners of affected units to stop use immediately.

What Incidents and Injuries Were Reported?

Arizer received four reports of batteries exploding or igniting in the United States. No injuries were reported in the CPSC or Health Canada recall notices.

The absence of reported injuries reflects the information available when the notices were published. It does not determine whether another consumer experienced a later injury, smoke exposure, or property loss.

A battery explosion or fire may cause contact burns, flame burns, eye irritation, or smoke-related symptoms. A person may also be injured while attempting to move the device, extinguish the fire, or remove burning property.

Potential property damage may involve bedding, furniture, counters, flooring, clothing, bags, vehicles, electronics, chargers, or household contents. Smoke, water, and fire-extinguisher residue may create additional cleanup expenses.

How Can the Battery Failure Occur?

An investigation may consider the lithium-ion cells, battery-management system, charging port, charger, circuit board, wiring, thermal controls, heating components, and metal enclosure. These components may be examined to determine where overheating or ignition began.

The charging environment may also matter. Investigators may review the outlet, charging surface, cable, nearby combustible materials, storage location, prior device damage, and any warning signs reported before failure.

Fire patterns, photographs, witness statements, fire-department findings, insurance inspections, and the condition of the vaporizer may help distinguish the device from other possible ignition sources.

An explosion or fire does not automatically establish civil liability. Product identification, causation, alleged defects, damages, and applicable law must be evaluated in each case.

What Should Consumers Do With a Recalled Vaporizer?

Consumers should immediately stop using and charging affected Arizer Solo III vaporizers. They should contact Arizer and submit the information needed to confirm that the serial number falls within the recall.

Approved participants will receive instructions for obtaining a replacement Solo III V2. The process requires consumers to write “recalled” on the device in permanent marker and provide a photograph.

Consumers must also confirm that the recalled vaporizer was disposed of in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Copies of the registration, photographs, confirmation emails, and disposal records should be retained.

The vaporizer should not be placed in household trash, curbside recycling, general recycling, or ordinary retail battery-collection boxes. Consumers should contact a household hazardous-waste facility before transporting the device and confirm that it accepts recalled lithium-ion products.

Who May Be Affected?

Consumers may be affected if they own an Intergalactic Black Solo III bearing an included serial-number prefix. Recall eligibility does not require an explosion, fire, injury, or property loss.

A potential legal claim is different from participation in the replacement program. An individual claim generally requires an injury, property damage, or another compensable loss connected to the device.

The person harmed does not have to be the original purchaser. A device purchased by a relative, friend, employer, or another person may have caused an incident while being used, charged, transported, or stored.

Consumers who no longer possess the vaporizer may still have relevant evidence through photographs, packaging, purchase records, serial-number documentation, recall submissions, insurance files, or disposal records.

Who May Be Liable?

Potentially responsible parties may include the importer, manufacturer, battery supplier, component supplier, distributor, retailer, or online seller. Each entity’s relationship to the device must be evaluated separately.

Potential legal theories may include defective design, manufacturing defect, inadequate warnings, negligence, breach of warranty, or other state-law claims. The recall does not automatically establish liability.

A claimant generally must connect the recalled or otherwise defective condition to the explosion, fire, injury, or property damage. Potential defendants may dispute the device identity, charging equipment, use, modifications, ignition source, or claimed losses.

Do I Qualify?

  • Did you own or use an Intergalactic Black Arizer Solo III vaporizer?
  • Does its serial number begin with an affected recall prefix?
  • Did the device explode, ignite, smoke, melt, or overheat?
  • Did the incident cause burns, smoke exposure, medical care, or property damage?

An individualized legal review can determine whether product identification, incident evidence, injuries, property losses, potential defendants, and applicable filing deadlines support a claim.

What Evidence Should I Preserve?

Photograph the complete vaporizer, serial number, charging port, charger, cable, packaging, UPC, and incident location. Capture wide views of the scene and close-up images of burned, melted, or damaged components.

Preserve receipts, order emails, payment records, recall submissions, photographs sent to Arizer, disposal instructions, confirmation messages, fire reports, insurance files, repair estimates, and cleanup invoices.

Medical evidence may include emergency-care records, burn treatment, respiratory evaluations, prescriptions, photographs, bills, and follow-up instructions. Mayo Clinic notes that serious burns can damage deeper tissues and may require urgent medical care [4]

A damaged lithium-ion device may be unsafe to retain. Consumers should prioritize safety while preserving photographs, serial-number evidence, disposal documentation, and other records.
