Anker has expanded its recall of four power banks to include European markets, following similar actions in China and the U.S. This comes as a precautionary measure to ensure user safety, as these devices have been found to contain problematic battery cells that other manufacturers have also used.
Affected users should take note of the specific models involved in this recall:
– Anker Power Bank (10,000mAh, 22.5W) — model A1257
– Anker Power Bank (20,000mAh, 22.5W, integrated USB-C cable) — model A1647
– Anker Zolo Power Bank (20,000mAh, 30W, integrated USB-C cable and Lightning cable) — model A1681
– Anker Zolo Power Bank (20,000mAh, 30W, integrated USB-C cable) — model A1689
Anker advises owners of these power banks to stop using them immediately and avoid disposing of them in household trash. Instead, they should be taken to recycling facilities that handle lithium batteries.
For more information on obtaining a refund or how to proceed, customers can visit Anker’s official website for the relevant European markets. Additionally, Anker’s customer service is available for any questions regarding the recall.
Staying informed about technology recalls can prevent potential hazards and ensure safer gadget usage. Keep an eye on updates from manufacturers for any further developments in the tech world.
