Received email today with subject line "SKIL recall notification" which read as follows:

December 2024

Dear Valued Customer:

Our records show that you may have purchased a SKIL 40V 5.0Ah Lithium-Ion Battery, Model #BY8708-00 (pictured above), that Chervon North America, Inc. ("Chervon") is voluntarily recalling in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission ("CPSC") and Health Canada. The recalled batteries, which were manufactured prior to May 1, 2021, and sold between October 2019 and December 2024, can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards.

Chervon is providing affected consumers with a free replacement, or a refund for the price of the battery, upon return of the recalled battery.

Please immediately stop using the recalled battery and register for the recall online at www.skil.com/recalls, by phone at 833-476-5325 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or by email at BY8708-00recall@na.chervongroup.com. Chervon will provide a free battery collection kit in which to return the recalled battery, and will provide the requested remedy upon return of the recalled battery.

The recalled batteries were sold individually under the model number BY8708-00, and in combination kits with SKIL 40V Brushless 20-in Push Mowers (Model #PM 4910-10) or SKIL 40V Brushless 20-in Self-Propelled Mowers (Model #SM4910-10). Only the battery is recalled.

CPSC's recall announcement is available on its website at http://www.cpsc.gov.

Chervon takes safety very seriously, and we appreciate your cooperation. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,

Chervon North America, Inc.

I purchased the Skil lawnmower from Lowes from a SD back in April 2023. My selected remedy was to replace the battery as the lawnmower works great and suits my application perfectly. Not sure how they would determine refund since it was included in the mower purchase.

I followed the steps to determine eligibility then submitted my claim. Within an hour I received the below email with subject line "SKIL Battery Recall – Registration Confirmation – XXXXXXXX"
