Opening Summary
Sauna360 has expanded a recall of Tylö Halmstad and Kiruna Hybrid saunas after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the previous recall repair was ineffective.
The September 17, 2026 expanded recall covers about 6,000 saunas with benches that can collapse, creating a fall hazard. Sauna360 has received 77 additional reports of benches breaking and six injuries.
Consumers should stop using affected saunas immediately—even if their sauna already received the 2025 recall repair—and contact Sauna360 for another free repair. The company says a professional installer will retrofit the affected benches with additional hardware and supports.
For owners, this is an unusually clear Repair vs. Replace case: the official remedy remains repair, not replacement of the entire sauna.

Repair vs. Replace
Repair First
For owners of affected Tylö Halmstad and Kiruna Hybrid saunas, the official CPSC remedy is another free repair, not replacement of the entire sauna.
Consumers should not attempt to decide that the earlier repair is sufficient. CPSC specifically instructs owners to stop using affected saunas even if they received the 2025 recall remedy.
Sauna360 says it will provide a professional installer for the new in-home repair.
When Replacement Might Enter the Decision
Replacement of the entire sauna is not the official recall remedy.
An owner considering replacement for reasons beyond the recall—such as age, condition, other repairs or personal preference—should first determine whether the sauna qualifies for the free recall repair. Replacing a product at the owner’s expense before investigating an available manufacturer remedy could mean paying for something the recall program is intended to correct without charge.
Important: Check for a Second Sauna360 Recall
Sauna360 and CPSC announced a separate recall on September 17 involving about 41,580 infrared saunas, hybrid infrared saunas and infrared kits because infrared panels can short-circuit and overheat.
That separate recall includes certain Tylö Kiruna Hybrid models.
Owners should therefore check their exact model and serial number against the official information for both recalls.

When an Earlier Recall Repair Is Not Enough
A product recall often gives consumers a choice between repairing a product, replacing it or receiving a refund. A new Sauna360 recall expansion illustrates another possibility: sometimes an earlier recall repair itself needs to be replaced by a better repair.
On September 17, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission expanded a recall involving about 6,000 Tylö Halmstad and Kiruna Hybrid saunas.
The problem involves bench seating that can collapse while the sauna is being used, creating a fall hazard.
The same products were previously recalled in October 2025. CPSC now says the earlier repair was ineffective and instructs consumers to stop using affected saunas immediately—even if they already received the 2025 recall remedy.
Sauna360 has received 77 additional reports of benches breaking and six injuries. CPSC says those injuries include one consumer who suffered head and neck injuries and another who suffered a sprained ankle.
The new remedy is another free repair. Sauna360 says a professional installer will retrofit affected benches with additional hardware and supports.
The expanded recall covers Tylö Halmstad 2, Halmstad 3 and Halmstad 4 configurations and Kiruna Hybrid 2 and Kiruna Hybrid 3 configurations within specified serial-number ranges. Owners should use the complete model and serial-number information in the official CPSC notice rather than relying on the product name alone.
There is another reason owners should check carefully.
CPSC announced a separate Sauna360 recall the same day covering approximately 41,580 infrared and hybrid saunas and infrared kits because infrared panels can short-circuit and overheat, creating fire and burn hazards. Certain Tylö Kiruna Hybrid models appear in that separate recall.
That means an owner should not assume that completing the new bench repair necessarily addresses every recall that could apply to the sauna.
For Replacement.com readers, the practical conclusion is straightforward: do not replace an affected sauna merely because the first recall repair failed. Check the official recall remedy first.
The manufacturer is offering another professional repair at no charge. Owners should stop using affected units and verify their exact model and serial number through CPSC and Sauna360 before deciding what comes next.
Why This Matters
A recall remedy is supposed to make an affected product safe to use. When regulators determine that an earlier repair was ineffective, consumers who already completed that repair need to know that their responsibility did not end with the first recall.
This case also demonstrates an important Replacement.com principle: repair and replacement are not interchangeable decisions.
A product that can be made safe through a manufacturer-funded professional repair may not need to be discarded or replaced at the owner’s expense. At the same time, consumers should not continue using a recalled product simply because it was previously repaired.
The correct decision begins with the latest official remedy.
