The vacuums are being recalled due to faulty battery packs where the circuit inside the battery can start to smoke and possibly catch on fire.

According to the recall notice, customers that have these vacuums should stop using them immediately.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vacuums and contact BISSELL for a free battery pack replacement. Consumers can either take the product to a local BISSELL authorized service center for a free battery pack replacement or schedule a free in-home repair visit from an authorized BISSELL service technician to replace the existing battery pack.

If you have one of the faulty vacuums you can contact Bissell by calling their toll-free number at 855-417-7001 between 9 am and 9 pm Monday through Friday or on Saturday from 9 am until 8 pm. You can also get more information at Bissell's website (CLICK HERE).
