July 14, 2026 — A consumer has reported concerns regarding the safety of a Breo SeeX2 Pro Eye Massager in their possession, citing a government-confirmed lithium battery thermal runaway incident involving a related Breo product. While no incident has occurred with the SeeX2 Pro unit itself, the user is highlighting the potential risk given the confirmed defect in a different model from the same manufacturer.
Product Details
Incident Overview
This report was filed by the sister of an individual who previously reported a severe incident involving a Breo SEE7R Eye Massager. That incident, which occurred on May 18, 2026, in Guangzhou, China, resulted in a fire caused by lithium battery thermal runaway during normal charging. The Guangzhou Haizhu District Fire and Rescue Brigade officially confirmed this cause (Ref:), formally concluding the fire was caused by lithium battery thermal runaway during normal charging.
The current report focuses on a Breo SeeX2 Pro Eye Massager, which is part of the same manufacturer’s product line and reportedly utilizes the same lithium battery technology. This SeeX2 Pro unit was purchased in mainland China and brought into the United States in April 2026. It is currently in active use at the filer’s residence in New York City.
While no incident has yet occurred with the SeeX2 Pro unit in question, the filer expresses significant concern about its safety. This concern stems directly from the government-confirmed defect and fire incident with the related Breo SEE7R Eye Massager, suggesting a potential underlying safety issue with the lithium battery technology used across similar products from Shenzhen Breo Technology Co., Ltd. The consumer believes the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) should be aware of this product’s presence and active use in the United States, given the confirmed safety hazard in a related model.
Safety Concerns
The primary safety concern revolves around the potential for lithium battery thermal runaway. Lithium-ion batteries, commonly used in portable electronic devices like eye massagers, can pose significant hazards if they are defective, damaged, or improperly charged.
- Immediate Dangers: Thermal runaway can lead to rapid and intense fires, emitting toxic fumes and potentially causing severe burns, smoke inhalation injuries, and structural damage to property. If such an event occurs while the device is in use, especially near the face, the risk of injury is extremely high.
- Long-Term Risks: Even if no immediate fire occurs, a faulty battery can swell, leak, or lead to overheating, which can compromise the device’s function and present a continuous, albeit less immediate, fire risk.
- Who Might Be Affected: Anyone using the Breo SeeX2 Pro or similar Breo eye massagers with comparable battery technology is potentially at risk. Given these devices are used on or near the face, the consequences of a malfunction could be particularly severe.
- Property Damage Potential: A battery fire, especially when devices are left unattended during charging, can quickly spread, causing extensive damage to furniture, bedding, walls, and other personal property.
What Consumers Should Do
Given the confirmed incident with a related product, consumers who own a Breo SeeX2 Pro or any similar Breo eye massager with lithium battery technology should take immediate precautions:
- Discontinue Use (Recommended): The safest immediate step is to stop using the product, especially if it uses similar battery technology to the Breo SEE7R.
- Unplug and Store Safely: If you choose not to discontinue use immediately, always unplug the device when not in use and avoid charging it overnight or leaving it unattended. Store it away from flammable materials on a non-combustible surface.
- Monitor for Warning Signs: Be vigilant for any signs of battery issues, such as overheating during use or charging, swelling of the device casing, strange odors, or unusual noises. If any of these occur, immediately stop using the product, unplug it, and move it to a safe, non-flammable location.
- Check Your Product: Verify if you own a Breo SeeX2 Pro or other Breo eye massager models that might share similar internal components or battery technology. Look for model numbers on the device or its packaging.
- Contact Manufacturer/Retailer: Reach out to Shenzhen Breo Technology Co., Ltd. or Xiaohongshu Little Red Book Breo Official Flag (if purchased there) for clarification on the battery technology and potential safety advisories.
- Report Incidents: If you experience any issues or an incident with your Breo eye massager, report it immediately to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at SaferProducts.gov.
