We have identified that several early batches of our Blinder front bike lights were manufactured with batteries that can fail and pose a fire hazard, risking injury and property damage.
The four products shown below - only those with the batch codes listed - are being recalled. All other Knog products are safe to use.
Knog will be providing a free replacement for every recalled bike light. Should we not be able to provide an exact replacement for your light, we may upgrade you to a different light from the same Blinder range at no cost.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
1. Complete the form
Please take the following actions as soon as possible to avoid any potential safety risks.
- By completing the form, we'll confirm if your light or lights are being recalled. Use the button below or click here.
-
If your light or lights are being recalled, we'll ask you to register for a replacement. Be prepared to upload proof of purchase (if available), a photo of your bike light or lights, and current shipping information.
2. Dispose of the bike light or lights
After submitting your claim, please dispose of the bike light in accordance with your local regulations for lithium-ion batteries. Improper disposal can lead to environmental hazards or safety risks.
Do not put it in the trash. Do not send anywhere via post or courier. Do not place it in standard battery recycling boxes at stores. Because recalled lithium-ion batteries require special handling, they should be disposed of in accordance with your local and state ordinances, following the procedures established by your municipal recycling centre for damaged, defective, or recalled lithium-ion batteries.
HOW TO FIND THE BATCH CODE
Every Knog Blinder bike light has the batch code on the base of the product.
TERMS OF RECALL
When you submit your replacement claim, you are agreeing to the terms of the recall and confirming that you qualify for a replacement, including the following statements:
- I am a consumer or retailer who obtained an affected Blinder 900, Blinder 1300, Blinder 80 StVZO, or Blinder 120 StVZO for personal use or sale.
- I am currently in possession of the affected product(s) that I will be registering.
- I will dispose of the affected bike light(s) in accordance with local and state ordinances.
- Should an exact replacement light of the same model not be available at the time of my submission, I am happy to receive an upgrade to an alternate light (for example - Blinder 900 upgraded to Blinder 1300).
I understand that if I submit a claim for a product that has already been registered in a previous claim, or if Knog determines, in its sole discretion, that I do not meet the above criteria (including being a genuine Knog consumer or retailer), I will not receive a replacement.
For the purposes of fulfilling replacement requests, Knog may share necessary claim information with its authorised distribution partners. Any personal data provided will be handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR, and will only be used for the purpose of processing and delivering your replacement.
