Jazwares recalls 'America's Got Talent' microphones because of fire hazard
Feb 6, 2025 7:17 AM

Feb 6 (Reuters) - Jazwares, a toy company owned by

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway ( BRK/A ), recalled about

125,000 "America's Got Talent" microphones because they contain

lithium-ion batteries that can overcharge and ignite, posing a

fire hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on

Thursday.

The microphones were sold for about $20 to $25 between

October 2020 and October 2022 at retailers including Amazon.com ( AMZN ),

DD's Discounts and Ross Stores ( ROST ), Meijer, Target ( TGT ) and

Berkshire-owned Nebraska Furniture Mart. Six were sold in

Canada.

Jazwares has received three reports of batteries

igniting, causing smoke and fire damage to walls and floors, the

CPSC said. No injuries have been reported. The microphones' SKU

numbers are AGT0002 and TMS0002.

Consumers should stop using the microphones and dispose

of them, but not in the ordinary trash, and contact Jazwares for

full refunds in the form of pre-paid gift cards, the CPSC said.

Jazwares is also known for its Squishmallows plush toys.

They are not part of the recall.
