Hazard

Charging the battery inside the hydration unit's power pack box can result in excessive gas buildup, which can burst the lid of the power pack box off or rupture the box. This poses an injury hazard to bystanders.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop charging the portable team hydration units and contact Collegiate Pacific to receive a repair kit.

Incidents & injuries

Collegiate Pacific has received two reports of lids bursting off of the box, including an instance where the lid struck the back of a bystander's hand, causing some swelling.
