Description
This recall involves the battery-operated power pack boxes for the 20-gallon "Sports Cool Powered Team Drinker" and the 40-gallon "Sports Cool Powered Tanker with Cart" portable team hydration units. The units include a water tank, six hoses, a battery-operated pack box, and a cart. "Sports Cool" is printed on the water tank.
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 and 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.
