June 18, 2026: CPSC and Health Canada Announce a Joint Recall

CPSC and Health Canada announced a joint recall on June 18, 2026, covering about 5,000 U.S. and 1,687 Canadian Arizer Solo III Intergalactic (Black) vaporizers [1, 2]. The internal lithium-ion battery can explode or ignite, and 7111495 Canada Inc. has logged four U.S. reports, with no injuries in either country as of June 2, 2026. The recall (No. 26-565) offers a free Solo III V2 replacement.

Which Arizer Solo III Vaporizers Are Affected?

Only Arizer Solo III Intergalactic (Black) portable vaporizers that carry one of the following identifiers are included in this recall:

• Serial numbers beginning M3B1G5, M3F4G6, M35C43, M3PN54, M3SR42, M38G53, M3G576, or M3C121, etched into the base of the device
• UPC 628078802274, printed on the outside of the product packaging, alongside the serial number
• The Intergalactic, or Black, color finish only. Other Arizer Solo III colors are not part of this recall

An earlier, separate recall the same importer issued in September 2025 covered a related but distinct lithium-ion battery problem in a different Arizer model. Consumers who are unsure which color or serial range they own should check the base of the device and the outside of the original packaging before assuming the recall does not apply.

Why Were Arizer Solo III Vaporizers Recalled?

Arizer Solo III Intergalactic (Black) vaporizers were recalled because the internal lithium-ion battery inside each device can explode or ignite. This poses a fire and burn hazard to the person holding it or to anyone standing nearby. CPSC and Health Canada identified the defect through 7111495 Canada Inc., the Solo III’s importer, which reported the battery hazard after testing and consumer incident reports. The units were manufactured in China and imported into the United States and Canada. This defect is separate from an earlier battery issue in a different Arizer device, covered in Other Recalls below, and it does not extend to other Solo III colors.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC and Health Canada say the company has received four reports from the United States of the Arizer Solo III’s battery exploding or igniting. None of those reports describe an injury to any user. In Canada, the company has logged zero incident or injury reports connected to the Solo III, according to Health Canada’s notice, as of June 2, 2026. These figures come from the recall notices. They are reports made to the company and to regulators, not confirmation that the battery caused every incident described. Anyone who experiences a similar problem can report it after the recall was announced.

What Should Consumers Do?

Arizer and the recalling agencies are asking every owner of an affected Solo III vaporizer to take the following steps:

1. Stop using the recalled Arizer Solo III Intergalactic (Black) vaporizer immediately, even if it has not shown any problem yet.
2. Check the serial number, etched on the device’s base or printed on the packaging, against the eight recalled prefixes listed above.
3. Contact Arizer at 888-291-0521 (Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET), by email at recall@arizer.com, or through the online recall submission form to register for a free replacement [3].
4. Wait for Arizer to confirm the serial number is affected before taking any further action.
5. Write the word “recalled” on the device in permanent marker and photograph it once Arizer approves the registration.
6. Take the battery or device to a household hazardous-waste facility for disposal, never the trash, curbside recycling, or a retail battery box.
7. Report a fire, burn, or battery incident to CPSC’s SaferProducts.gov or the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772, in addition to notifying Arizer.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

CPSC and Health Canada recalled the Arizer Solo II, a different vaporizer, on September 18, 2025 (recall No. 25-470) [4]. About 5,460 U.S. and, per Health Canada, 2,821 Canadian units, identified by an M2 serial prefix, were affected. The battery could overheat, smoke, or eject material. 7111495 Canada Inc. logged nine U.S. reports and no injuries. No European, Ontario, or other foreign class action or regulatory action involving the Solo III has been found.

Legal Options

People who were burned or suffered property damage from an Arizer Solo III or Solo II battery fire may have legal options. These options exist beyond the manufacturer’s replacement program. A small number of law firms are gathering information from affected consumers ahead of any lawsuit being filed against Arizer or its importer. This recall does not automatically establish Arizer’s liability or a reader’s eligibility for compensation. An individual legal review is the only way to evaluate a specific Solo III or Solo II claim.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for a product-liability claim come from state law, not from this recall notice, and they are easy to miss. The filing window depends on where the person lives and when the injury, property damage, or its cause was discovered. Missing that window can end a claim even when the facts are strong, so anyone considering a claim about this recall should check with a lawyer promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

When Should I See a Doctor After a Vaporizer Battery Burn?

If an Arizer Solo III battery burns you, see a doctor if you notice signs of infection, such as oozing or fever, or if the burn or blister is wider than two inches or has not healed within two weeks, according to Mayo Clinic.

How Do I Safely Dispose of a Recalled Arizer Vaporizer Battery?

To safely dispose of a recalled Arizer vaporizer battery, take it to a household hazardous-waste facility rather than the trash or curbside recycling. The U.S. Fire Administration warns against a battery that shows an odor, heat, swelling, or leaking, and advises storing spares away from anything flammable.

Is There a Lawsuit or Class Action Against Arizer?

No, as of September 2026 no lawsuit, class action, or multidistrict litigation has been filed against Arizer or its importer. This covers both the Solo III and Solo II recalls. Only individual attorney-investigation pages exist so far, and that could change if a case is filed.

Do I Need a Lawyer for the Arizer Solo III Recall?

You do not need a lawyer just to get a free replacement device from Arizer’s recall program. A lawyer can help if you were burned or suffered property damage, since a recall alone does not confirm who is responsible.

What Should I Do If My Arizer Solo III Vaporizer Catches Fire or Causes a Burn?

If your Arizer Solo III catches fire or burns you, get to safety first. Call 911 for a deep burn, one larger than three inches, or one covering your hands, face, or a major joint. Take first-aid measures for a minor burn while you wait for help.

Where Is the Arizer Solo III’s Importer Based?

The Arizer Solo III’s importer, which does business as Arizer Tech, is based in Waterloo, Ontario, according to the CPSC and Health Canada recall notices that list the company’s trade name and location for both the U.S. and Canadian recalls.
