Greenworks Tools is recalling about 554,780 Kobalt-branded yard power tools and lithium-ion batteries after dozens of reports of batteries smoking, sparking or catching fire while charging, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.<\/p>\n
The voluntary recall covers select Kobalt 24V and 48V outdoor power equipment sold with USB-C rechargeable batteries, including string trimmers, leaf blowers, lawn mowers, chainsaws, pruning saws, power cleaners and other tools.<\/p>\n
The CPSC said charging the lithium-ion batteries through the USB-C port while the batteries remain inserted in the tool can cause the battery to short-circuit, creating a fire hazard that poses a risk of serious injury.<\/p>\n

Greenworks has received 34 reports of recalled batteries producing smoke, sparking or catching fire while they were inserted in a tool and charging through the USB-C port. No injuries or property damage have been reported.<\/p>\n
The recalled products were sold at Lowe’s stores nationwide and online at Lowes.com between January 2026 and May 2026. Prices ranged from about $20 for standalone batteries to $482 for complete tool kits.<\/p>\n
Only Kobalt products equipped with the recalled USB-C batteries are included in the recall. The affected batteries were sold in 3.0Ah, 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah, 6.0Ah and 8.0Ah capacities. Certain 3.0Ah and 6.0Ah batteries were also sold separately.<\/p>\n

Consumers should immediately stop charging the batteries through the USB-C port while the batteries are inserted in the tool and contact Greenworks for a free replacement battery.<\/p>\n
As part of the remedy, Greenworks will provide replacement batteries without the USB-C charging port, a charger adapter, an updated product manual, a warning label for the tool and a prepaid shipping label to return the recalled battery.<\/p>\n
