Profoto Recalls Its New B1X Monolight Battery
Citing a “potential safety issue”, Profoto is recalling the battery of their powerful B1X monolight, which was announced only 10 days ago.
Unfortunately, we have discovered a potential safety issue with our new Li-Ion Battery MkII for B1 and B1X (product number 100399). We have therefore decided to execute a product recall for product number 100399 with manufacturing dates 2017-09 and 2017-16 (YYYY-WW).
If you have a B1X battery, the date of manufacture is marked above the barcode as shown:
Profoto is urging customers not to use or even handle these batteries, and to contact their local dealer for a temporary replacement B1 battery until more information is available.
