Overview

  • The recall covers about 1,158,000 PowerCore 10000 units (model A1263) sold online in the US from June 2016 through December 2022.
  • The US Consumer Product Safety Commission linked 19 reports of fires and explosions, two minor burn injuries and over $60,700 in property damage to overheating lithium-ion cells.
  • Consumers are urged to stop using affected chargers immediately and to submit photos showing the serial number to confirm eligibility.
  • Eligible customers may request either a $30 gift card or a free replacement power bank without needing to provide a purchase receipt.
  • Recalled batteries must be taken to municipal household hazardous waste facilities for safe disposal instead of being thrown in regular trash or recycling bins.
