DR Power recalled about 13,200 LiPRO 62-volt 5.0 Ah battery packs, model 414240, because the packs can short-circuit and ignite. The Consumer Product Safety Commission announced recall 25-355 on June 26, 2025, citing fire and burn hazards.
The company received two reports of fire or overheating, and no injuries have been reported. The packs were sold from April 2018 through July 2024.
Owners should stop using them and ask DR Power for a pro-rated refund. No lawsuit, class action or MDL has been filed over these battery packs.
Latest DR Power Battery Pack Recall Lawsuit Updates
October 8, 2026: Separate Trimmer Mower Recall
Medical Daily reported a separate recall of about 42,860 DR Power Pilot and Premier walk-behind trimmer mowers [1]. The recall notice cites 19 fire reports tied to grass and debris buildup.
The remedy is a free repair kit. This recall does not involve the battery packs, so it is a separate matter for owners of the mowers.
June 26, 2025: CPSC Announces Battery Pack Recall
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced recall 25-355 of about 13,200 62-volt LiPRO packs rated 5.0 Ah, which can short-circuit and ignite [2].
Health Canada posted a matching notice the same day [3]. The CPSC and Health Canada notices both cover the same battery packs.
June 5, 2025: CPSC Recalls DR Power Chainsaws
The CPSC announced recall 25-323 of about 7,180 DR Pulse 62V battery-powered chainsaws, whose motor controller can overheat [4].
The agency noted 20 reports of fire, sparks and smoke. No injuries were reported. It is a related recall and covers other products.
Who May Be Affected?
The recall covers people who own a DR Power LiPRO battery pack. It may have been sold alone, as model 414240, or with DR Power equipment.
That equipment includes mowers, trimmers and snow throwers, models 524340, SB11022XEN, T4X3026XEN, T4X3062XENR, CE75021XEN0 and CE77021XEN0. Packs cost $250 each, and equipment cost between $300 and $700.
Home improvement and hardware stores nationwide sold the packs between April 2018 and July 2024. They were also sold online at DRPower.com and CountryHomeProducts.com.
About 40 units reached Canadian buyers. Whether you have a legal claim depends on your facts and an individual legal review.
Reported Injuries or Damages
The CPSC lists two fire or overheating incidents and zero injuries for the battery packs. No court record describes injury or property damage from the packs.
The CPSC states that the recalled packs can short-circuit and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards. That is a regulator finding and no court has ruled on it. Reports are not proof that the packs caused every incident.
Health Canada reported no incidents or injuries in Canada as of June 20, 2025. Anyone who had a fire or burn from a DR Power product can report it to the CPSC.
Recall and Regulatory Background
Ningbo New Team Import & Export Co. Ltd. (“Lera”) of China made the recalled packs. Generac Power Systems Inc. of Waukesha, Wisconsin imported them. A recall does not by itself establish liability.
The refund is pro-rated based on the battery’s age. The company asks owners to show proof of destruction by uploading two photographs and filling out the recall form online.
Evidence to Preserve
If a DR Power battery pack failed, keep these items before you return or dispose of anything:
- The battery pack and its label showing the model number, if it is safe to keep.
- The equipment model number and serial number for any DR Power tool.
- Proof of purchase, such as a receipt or an order email.
- Photographs of any fire, melting or damage to the pack, tool or home.
- Fire department or insurance reports about the incident.
- Medical records for any burn or other injury.
- Messages with DR Power about the pack or the refund.
Filing Deadlines
State law sets filing deadlines, and they depend on where you live and on when the fire or injury happened and was discovered.
Missing a deadline can end a claim even when the facts are strong, so ask a lawyer promptly about yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is There a DR Power Battery Pack Recall Lawsuit?
Is there a DR Power battery pack recall lawsuit? No. Generac Power Systems appears in the CPSC notice only as the importer, and the notice names no court or defendant. Importer status alone does not make a company a party to a case.
Is There a Recall on DR Power Trimmers?
Is there a recall on DR Power trimmers? Yes. Medical Daily reports the trimmer mowers sold from November 2022 through July 2026 for $380 to $550. The fire reports include two reports of minor injuries, such as blisters.
How Do I Get a Refund for a Recalled DR Power Battery Pack?
To get a refund for a recalled DR Power battery pack, call DR Power at 800-454-8643, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday. You can also email recall@drpower.com or visit drpower.com/recalls.
What Does the Research Say About Lithium-Ion Battery Fires?
On lithium-ion battery fires, the CPSC says these batteries present a greater risk of fire than other batteries. Do not put a recalled battery in the trash, curbside recycling or retail recycling boxes. Call your household hazardous waste center first.
Can I Sue If Only Property Was Damaged?
Whether you can sue if only property was damaged depends on your facts and your state’s law. No court has ruled on property damage from these packs, and no complaint alleges it.
