Arizer Solo III recall: check the black Intergalactic serial number first

Verification Standard

• Checked at: 2026-06-21 01:46 KST
• Primary sources: CPSC June 18, 2026 Arizer Solo III recall notice and Health Canada June 18, 2026 Arizer Solo III recall notice
• Applies to: the CPSC notice covers U.S. sales, and the Health Canada notice covers Canadian consumer-product recall information. If the same model reached you through online shopping, travel, gifts, resale, or international shipping, check the product and serial number before assuming it is outside the issue.
• Product: certain Arizer Solo III portable electronic vaporizers in the Intergalactic/Black color. This does not mean every Solo III or every color is recalled.
• Serial-number prefixes to compare: M3B1G5, M3F4G6, M35C43, M3PN54, M3SR42, M38G53, M3G576, M3C121

On June 18, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada posted a recall for certain Arizer Solo III Intergalactic Black units. Both official notices identify the same practical risk: the internal lithium-ion battery can ignite or explode, creating fire and burn hazards. The CPSC notice lists about 5,000 affected units and recall number 26-565. CPSC says the firm received four U.S. reports of the battery exploding or igniting, with no injuries reported. Health Canada says that, as of June 2, 2026, the company had received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.

The first check is not the product name alone. It is the color and the serial-number prefix. The official notices limit the recall to Intergalactic/Black units with serial numbers beginning with one of eight prefixes. The serial number is etched on the bottom of the device and also appears on the outside of the product packaging. The packaging shows UPC 628078802274. If you own a different color or a similar-looking Arizer product, use the official links to verify before deciding whether it is included.

Who Needs This

• Anyone who bought a Solo III between May 2025 and January 2026 from specialty, health and wellness, adult novelty stores, or Arizer.com in the United States
• Canadian owners who need to compare the product against the Health Canada recall notice
• People who kept the device but no longer have the box, receipt, or store record
• Anyone who received the device secondhand, as a gift, or through cross-border shipping
• People unsure whether a recalled lithium-ion battery device can go in household trash or regular recycling

Why To Sort It Out First

This is a battery safety recall, not a performance complaint. A rechargeable lithium-ion device can create heat, smoke, fire, or burn risk if a defective battery fails. That is why CPSC gives separate disposal instructions and says not to put the recalled device in household trash, curbside recycling, or ordinary battery collection boxes. If your serial number matches, stop use first, then follow the official replacement and disposal steps.

The recall also has a narrow scope. Owning a Solo III does not automatically mean your unit is recalled, but a matching Intergalactic/Black serial prefix should not be ignored. The device may look normal, yet the official notices still call for immediate stop-use. The safest order is: isolate the device, confirm the serial number, register through the official route, and ask your local household hazardous waste program whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion battery devices.

Three Common Situations

• You still have the box: Confirm the color, UPC 628078802274, and the serial number on the packaging. Then compare the device-bottom serial number against the eight official prefixes.
• You have only the device: Photograph the bottom serial number and keep the device away from charging cables, heat sources, and daily carry bags until eligibility is clear.
• You were planning to throw it away: Do not put it in household trash, curbside recycling, or a standard battery drop box. Contact your local household hazardous waste program first.

User Checklist

1. Stop charging and using the Arizer Solo III until you check the device.
2. Confirm whether the color is Intergalactic/Black.
3. Find the serial number on the bottom of the device or outside the package.
4. Compare the prefix with M3B1G5, M3F4G6, M35C43, M3PN54, M3SR42, M38G53, M3G576, or M3C121.
5. If it matches, keep photos of the device and serial number, but do not dismantle the device unless official instructions tell you to.
6. Use the CPSC or Health Canada notice to reach the official Arizer replacement path.
7. If instructed, write recalled on the device in permanent marker, submit the required photo, and follow the disposal confirmation steps.
8. Ask your local household hazardous waste program whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion battery devices before disposal.
9. Do not resell, give away, or continue using a recalled device.

What To Check In The Official Links

• CPSC Arizer Solo III recall notice: check recall number 26-565, affected units, sale period, serial-number prefixes, replacement instructions, and lithium-ion battery disposal warnings.
• Health Canada Arizer Solo III recall notice: check the Canadian recall entry, the same serial prefixes, the free replacement instruction, and the prohibition on redistributing recalled products in Canada.
• Arizer support and recall information: use the manufacturer support route. If the Solo III submission form is not visible, use Recall Information or contact support from that page.
• SaferProducts.gov: use this official U.S. path if a product incident or injury needs to be reported.
• Government of Canada incident report: use this official Canadian path to report a consumer-product safety incident.

Common Questions

Are all Solo III devices recalled? No. The official notices specify Intergalactic/Black units with certain serial-number prefixes. Other colors or serial numbers need a separate official check.

Can I keep using it if it looks fine? If the serial number matches, the official instruction is to stop using the device immediately. A battery defect may not be visible from the outside.

Can I just throw it away? No. CPSC says recalled lithium-ion batteries or devices should not go in household trash, general recycling, curbside recycling, or ordinary battery collection boxes. Check local hazardous waste instructions first.

Today’s Bottom Line

If you have an Arizer Solo III, check whether it is the Intergalactic/Black version and compare the serial-number prefix with the official list. If it matches, stop use and charging, then use the CPSC, Health Canada, and Arizer official routes for replacement and disposal instructions. No deadline or extra payment should be assumed unless the official page states it, but stop-use is a step to take now.
