Collegiate Pacific Power Packs for Portable Team Hydration Units
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
Charging the battery inside the hydration unit's power pack box can result in excessive gas buildup, which can burst the lid of the power pack box off or rupture the box. This poses an injury hazard to bystanders.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
