Will AirTags be recalled?
Updated: May 16, 2021
Apple AirTags pulled from sale by Australian stores, will we be seeing a recall?
Apple announced their Apple AirTags at the Apple spring event on the 20th of April 2021. The AirTag is a device that can track your valuable items, keys, backpacks and other stuff. So just after 2 weeks, the Apple AirTags have been pulled down from Australian shelves.
Massive stores like, JB-HI-FI and Officeworks have removed the AirTags from shelves because concerns were raised about the small button battery.
The AirTags are around the size of a 20 cent piece and to replace the button battery all you have to do is pop and twist the top, and out pops the battery. It is a single CR2032 and is really small. People are saying that the battery is too easy to pop out and little toddlers can easily swallow the battery and could even lead to serious injury or death.
According to 9News Officeworks said they would not be stocking the product "until further guidance is provided from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission".
You can still buy the Apple AirTag on Apple's official store either online or in-store. So there is no confirmation as to whether the AirTag will be officially recalled by Apple.
