The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using INSE Cordless Stick Vacuums, models S6P Pro and S6T, because they pose a risk of serious injury and death. The lithium-ion battery packs in the vacuums can overheat and ignite whether the vacuums are charging or actively being used. The product is intended to be used for general household vacuum activities.
Shenzhen Ainuo Home Furnishings Co. Ltd., of China, one of the importing firms, has not agreed to an acceptable recall remedy to consumers. Shandongchongtaixiangmuguanliyouxiangongsi and YICHANGHAIJINKEJIYOUXIANGONGSI, manufacturers of the product, have not been responsive to CPSC’s request for information about this product or to CPSC’s requests for a recall.
CPSC has received 23 reports of these vacuums igniting, melting, smoking or overheating, including at least 10 reports of fires.
The defective vacuums are metal with blue and black plastic components. The word “insé” is printed on the body of the vacuum. The model number can be found on a silver sticker located underneath the removable lithium-ion battery pack. The model number may also be on a silver sticker underneath the brush head for the vacuum. The vacuums were sold on Amazon.com from May 2020 through January 2025 for about $170.
CPSC urges consumers to immediately stop using and dispose of the vacuums. Dispose of the vacuums following local hazardous waste disposal procedures.
Note: Recalled lithium-ion batteries should be disposed of in accordance with any local and state ordinances, following the procedures established by your municipal recycling center for damaged/defective/recalled lithium batteries, because these potentially hazardous batteries must be handled differently than other batteries. Do not throw this recalled battery in the trash. Do not deposit this recalled battery in used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores.
