In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Consumers are urged to stop using the recalled batteries immediately and contact DR Power for a pro-rated refund. To qualify, users must follow the company’s destruction instructions, submit photographic proof of disposal, and complete a form on DR Power’s website. Disposing of these batteries requires extra care — they cannot be placed in regular trash or curbside recycling due to the high fire risk. Residents should contact their local hazardous waste collection centers for guidance on proper disposal procedures.
The recalled battery packs were manufactured in China by Ningbo New Team Import & Export Co. Ltd. and imported by Generac Power Systems Inc. They were sold through home improvement stores and online for prices ranging from $250 to $700, depending on the product configuration.
