Frequently Asked Questions:
We are initiating a recall for the early versions of the Instinct Clipper due to a potential safety concern. After receiving a limited number of reports of the battery inside the Clipper overheating, we began an investigation to ensure the safety of our customers. The investigation led to the conclusion that inconsistencies in battery manufacturing for the lithium-ion batteries can lead to the potential thermal events. While only a small number of incidents have been reported, we believe it's our responsibility to address any potential risks and prioritize customer safety above all else.
If you live near one of our authorized recall centers (see list HERE), the battery can be replaced while you wait or in circumstances could take up to one day. Otherwise, customers can ship the Clippers back to us for battery replacement. Depending on shipping times, we estimate that the process will likely take between one (1) to three (3) weeks.
We are not offering refunds for the recalled Clippers.
We are glad you are enjoying your Clipper! Regardless of whether your Clipper is working currently, we advise customers to discontinue use of the affected Instinct Clippers and contact our customer service team to arrange for a battery replacement. Your safety is our top priority, and we appreciate your cooperation in ensuring a smooth recall process.
No. If the model or lot numbers of your Clipper are different from the recalled model/lot numbers, your product has a different battery construction. StyleCraft has not received any reports of overheating associated with those models and you can continue to enjoy using them.
The battery in the Clipper is soldered in place and not easily installable without the support of StyleCraft’s authorized service center professionals. For that reason, replacing the battery on your own is not an option.
The replacement battery is made by a different manufacturer and has gone through extensive testing by the manufacturer, our independent engineers, and by StyleCraft. This testing confirms our confidence in the safety of these batteries.
No. The replacement battery has the same specifications as the original battery and has been thoroughly tested for performance as well as safety.
Your warranty will remain intact. StyleCraft stands behind all of our products and participating in the recall will not impact your warranty.
Absolutely not. StyleCraft will replace the battery for free.
