Liquid filled iphone cases recalled reports chemical burns

You're referring to the recent recall of liquid-filled iPhone cases due to reports of chemical burns.

Yes, it's true. In February 2023, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a voluntary recall of certain liquid-filled iPhone cases sold by a company called Case-Mate. The recall was issued due to reports of the cases causing chemical burns to consumers' skin.

The affected cases are the "Liquid Case" and "Liquid Crystal Case" models, which were sold online and in retail stores from January 2020 to January 2023. The cases are designed to protect iPhones from drops and scratches, but they contain a liquid gel that can leak out and cause skin irritation.

According to the CPSC, there have been 12 reported incidents of chemical burns associated with the recalled cases, including reports of redness, itching, and blistering. In some cases, the burns required medical treatment.

Consumers who purchased the recalled cases are advised to stop using them immediately and return them to Case-Mate for a full refund or a replacement with a new case that does not contain the liquid gel.

It's worth noting that the recall only affects a specific batch of cases, and not all liquid-filled iPhone cases are affected. If you're unsure whether your case is part of the recall, you can check the CPSC website or contact Case-Mate directly for more information.

In any case, it's always a good idea to be cautious when using electronic accessories, especially those that contain liquids or other potentially hazardous materials. If you experience any skin irritation or discomfort while using a case, it's best to discontinue use and seek medical attention if necessary.
