Apple has recalled nearly 222,000 of its Beats Pill XL speakers in the U.S., after 'rare' reports of batteries overheating.
The company said they received 8 reports of batteries overheating and one of a user who received minor burns.
Apple has asked anyone using the speakers to discontinue using the product and will offer all customers refunds or $325 store credit.
The speakers were first launched in November of 2013, a few months before Apple acquired Beats for $3 billion to expand its accessories and streaming music lines.
