Power Banks Sold in Maine Recalled for Fire and Burn Hazards

There’s an active recall on a specific power bank that was available in Maine for over half a decade due to potential fire and burn hazards.

When you hear about a product recall, it’s important to take it seriously—it’s not just a suggestion. Recalls are issued to protect your health and safety by warning you about products that could potentially cause harm.

So, how do we learn about active recalls and the information associated with them? Who is responsible for regulating this?

We learn about active recalls and related safety information through the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the government agency responsible for protecting the public from dangerous consumer products. The CPSC handles recalls, enforces safety standards, researches product hazards, and educates both consumers and manufacturers to reduce the risk of injuries.

Now that we’ve got that covered, let’s look at the details of this particular recall involving a power bank that was sold in Maine.

The recall includes units sold in the U.S. between June 2016 and December 2022, with folks urged to stop using the product and check their serial number at Anker’s recall page.

Anker is offering a free replacement, but users must submit a photo of the device with markings and properly dispose of it through a hazardous waste facility, not in regular trash or recycling.
