The recall specifically affects Knog Blinder 900 and Blinder 1300 front bicycle lights bearing the batch codes 0124AA, 0423AA, 0723AA, 0923AA, 1023AA, 1123AA, and 11A23AA. These codes are printed on the underside of the light. The affected products are black with the “knog” brand name prominently displayed, and the word “Blinder” is imprinted on the handle. They were sold individually and in sets, including a mount, at independent bicycle retailers nationwide and online via Amazon from January 2023 to August 2025. The retail price ranged from $60 to $100.

Consumers are urged to immediately cease using the recalled bicycle lights. Knog Pty Ltd, of Grapevine, Texas, the importer of these lights, is offering a free replacement bicycle light to affected customers. To initiate the replacement process, consumers must register at http://www.knog.com/recall. The company has received five reports of the battery catching fire or exploding, though no injuries have been reported in connection with these incidents.

Proper disposal of the recalled lithium-ion batteries is critical due to their fire risk. Consumers should not discard these batteries in household trash, general recycling bins, or common battery recycling boxes found at retail locations. Instead, they should be disposed of in accordance with local and state regulations. It is recommended that consumers contact their municipal household hazardous waste collection center to determine if they accept recalled lithium-ion batteries and to inquire about proper disposal procedures. Consumers should not dispose of the light until they have received confirmation from Knog that their unit is part of the recall and qualifies for a replacement.
