Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports of safety hazards and software defects in popular speakers. In December 2024, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled ~69,000 Anker Soundcore speakers after 33 overheating incidents, including at least one burn injury. Meanwhile, in June 2025, Sonos owners report that a firmware update degraded functionality across Roam, Arc, and Beam speakers, disabling features such as AirPlay 2 and triggering battery-drain issues.
