October 2025
October 23, 2025 – Sauna360 originally recalled about 1,000 Tylö Halmstad and Kiruna Hybrid saunas because their bench seating could collapse. At that time, the company had received seven reports of benches breaking, including one report involving head and neck injuries.

What Is the Tylö Sauna Recall?
The recall involves bench seating in Sauna360’s Tylö Halmstad and Kiruna Hybrid sauna rooms. The affected models include Halmstad 2, Halmstad 3, Halmstad 4, Kiruna Hybrid 2, and Kiruna Hybrid 3.
The original recall announced in October 2025 covered about 1,000 saunas. CPSC expanded the action in September 2026 to approximately 6,000 units after additional bench failures occurred and the original repair was found to be ineffective.
The saunas were imported by Sauna360 Inc. of Cokato, Minnesota and manufactured in China by SFactor.
Why Were Tylö Halmstad and Kiruna Hybrid Saunas Recalled?
The benches inside the sauna rooms can break or collapse while a consumer is sitting on them. A sudden structural failure can cause the occupant to fall onto the sauna floor or against surrounding surfaces.
The hazard can be particularly concerning because sauna users may be barefoot, surrounded by hard wooden surfaces, and unable to anticipate a sudden bench failure.
CPSC’s 2026 notice states that the previous repair offered to consumers was ineffective, leading Sauna360 and CPSC to expand the recall and offer a new repair.
How Many Tylö Sauna Bench Failures and Injuries Were Reported?
When the first recall was announced in October 2025, Sauna360 had received seven reports of benches breaking, including one consumer who suffered head and neck injuries.
By the September 2026 expansion, Sauna360 had received 77 additional reports of benches breaking. Six additional injuries were reported, including one head-and-neck injury and one sprained ankle.
The CPSC notice does not provide detailed medical information for every injured consumer.
Why Can a Collapsing Sauna Bench Cause Serious Injuries?
A bench failure can cause a seated person to drop unexpectedly and strike the floor, wall, bench frame, or other hard components inside the sauna. Depending on how the person lands, injuries may involve the head, neck, back, arms, legs, or ankles.
MedlinePlus identifies falls as a common cause of head injuries and notes that head trauma can range from relatively minor injuries to concussion, skull fracture, or traumatic brain injury.
[3]
The severity of an injury depends on factors such as the height of the fall, body position, impact surface, and whether the person’s head or neck strikes another object.
Which Tylö Sauna Models Are Included?
The expanded recall includes the following Tylö sauna models:
- Tylö Halmstad 2, 15A, 120V
- Tylö Halmstad 2, 20A, 120V
- Tylö Halmstad 3, 240V
- Tylö Halmstad 4, 240V
- Tylö Kiruna Hybrid 2, 15A, 120V
- Tylö Kiruna Hybrid 2, 20A, 120V
- Tylö Kiruna Hybrid 3, 240V
The model number is printed in the sauna manual. Consumers must also check the serial number because the expanded recall applies to specified serial-number ranges.
Where Is the Tylö Sauna Serial Number Located?
For Halmstad 2, 3, and 4 sauna rooms, the serial-number label is located underneath the upper bench on the left side, directly above the electrical contactor box.
For Kiruna Hybrid 2 and 3 rooms, the serial-number label is located on the right wall beneath the right side of the upper bench.
CPSC lists recalled Halmstad serial numbers beginning within the affected CSF and SF ranges and recalled Kiruna Hybrid units within specified CSF ranges. Consumers should compare the full number with Sauna360’s recall information rather than relying solely on the model name.
Where Were Tylö Halmstad and Kiruna Hybrid Saunas Sold?
The expanded recall covers saunas sold through various distributors nationwide from July 2024 through July 2026. They sold for approximately $6,000 to $12,000.
The original 2025 recall covered units sold from July through December 2024. The expanded recall reflects a much broader sales and serial-number range.
Why Was the Original Tylö Sauna Repair Replaced?
CPSC states directly that the previous recall repair was ineffective. The continued bench failures resulted in a new remedy being offered as part of the September 2026 expanded recall.
This is significant for consumers who already participated in the 2025 recall. Receiving the earlier repair does not mean the sauna can safely remain in use under the current CPSC instructions.
Owners who previously had their bench repaired are specifically directed to stop using the sauna and contact Sauna360 again.
What Is the New Tylö Sauna Recall Remedy?
Sauna360 is providing another free repair. A professional installer will retrofit affected benches with additional hardware and supports.
Consumers should stop using affected saunas immediately until the new repair has been completed. The 2026 remedy replaces the earlier repair that CPSC says was ineffective.
Sauna360 can be contacted at 866-936-5962 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time Monday through Friday or at recall@sauna360.com.
Who May Be Affected?
Consumers who purchased a Tylö Halmstad 2, Halmstad 3, Halmstad 4, Kiruna Hybrid 2, or Kiruna Hybrid 3 sauna within the affected serial-number ranges may have a recalled product.
This includes owners who already received the repair offered under the 2025 recall because CPSC now says that remedy was ineffective.
Consumers who fell after a bench broke may want to preserve photographs of the sauna, broken bench components, serial-number label, purchase records, repair documentation, and medical records.
What Evidence May Matter After a Tylö Sauna Bench Collapse?
The condition of the bench and mounting hardware may be important in determining how a failure occurred. Evidence may include:
- Photographs of the broken or collapsed bench
- The sauna model and serial number
- Purchase and installation records
- Records of the original 2025 recall repair
- Photographs of the surrounding sauna interior
- Medical records documenting resulting injuries
If an injury occurred, the failed components should not be altered or discarded before relevant evidence has been documented.
Who May Be Liable for a Tylö Sauna Injury?
Potential liability depends on the facts and applicable state law. Manufacturers, importers, distributors, installers, or other businesses involved in supplying an allegedly defective sauna may potentially be evaluated following an injury.
Possible claims may involve defective design, manufacturing defects, inadequate warnings, negligence, breach of warranty, or other product-liability theories. A claimant generally must connect the alleged defect or failure to the resulting injury.
CPSC identifies Sauna360 Inc. as the importer and SFactor of China as the manufacturer. The recall itself does not establish civil liability against either company or another party.
Current Tylö Sauna Lawsuit and Recall Status
The principal documented federal action is the September 17, 2026 expanded CPSC recall covering approximately 6,000 Tylö Halmstad and Kiruna Hybrid saunas. The expansion supersedes the earlier remedy because CPSC states that the first repair was ineffective.
The CPSC recall notices do not announce a class action, multidistrict litigation proceeding, or nationwide personal-injury settlement involving these saunas. Individual injury claims may nevertheless warrant legal review depending on the circumstances, medical evidence, damages, and applicable filing deadlines.
Do I Qualify for a Tylö Sauna Injury Claim?
- Did you own or use a recalled Tylö Halmstad or Kiruna Hybrid sauna?
- Did the bench break or collapse while you were sitting on it?
- Did you fall or strike your head, neck, back, or another body part?
- Did you require medical evaluation or treatment after the incident?
Answering yes to one or more questions does not automatically establish a lawsuit. An attorney can review the sauna, serial number, bench failure, repair history, medical records, and applicable filing deadlines to determine whether further investigation may be appropriate.
Legal Process for a Tylö Sauna Injury Claim
- Free case review. An attorney reviews the recalled sauna, bench failure, injuries, and available documentation.
- Investigation. Evidence may include photographs, serial numbers, purchase records, repair records, medical documentation, and CPSC recall information.
- Filing. If the evidence and applicable law support a claim, a product-liability lawsuit may be filed against one or more potentially responsible parties.
- Discovery/negotiation. The parties may exchange records, obtain testimony, consult experts, and discuss possible resolution.
- Resolution. A case may conclude through settlement, dismissal, court ruling, or trial depending on its facts and procedural history.
Compensation in a Tylö Sauna Injury Case
Depending on the circumstances, a claim may seek damages for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, future treatment, and other losses permitted under applicable law.
Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
