Anker has recently announced a recall for three of its widely-used power banks due to a potential fire risk. The recall urges owners to visit Anker’s official website to verify if their products are affected and to follow the necessary steps for a return or replacement. It’s crucial that users stop using the recalled devices immediately to avoid any dangerous incidents.
In June, Anker recalled its 321 Power Bank (model A1112) after discovering a manufacturing defect that caused the lithium-ion battery to overheat, posing a serious fire hazard. Unfortunately, similar issues have now surfaced, prompting another recall—this time involving three different models.
The specific power banks affected are the Anker 334 MagGo PowerCore 10K, Power Bank 20K, and MagGo Power Bank 10K, under model numbers A1642, A1647, and A1652 respectively. Owners of these power banks are strongly advised to visit Anker’s official website, where they can enter their product’s serial number to start the recall process.
According to Anker, these devices face the same risk: a manufacturing defect that may cause the lithium-ion batteries to overheat, leading to potential fire hazards. If you possess one of these power banks, stop using it immediately and store it in a safe, isolated location. When disposing of these power banks, avoid placing them in regular trash or recycling bins. Instead, take them to facilities equipped to handle lithium-ion batteries safely.
If you’re among the users who own the Anker MagGo Power Bank 10K (A1652), Anker MagGo Power Core 10K (A1642), or Anker Power Bank 20K (A1647), it’s imperative to act promptly to ensure safety. Staying vigilant about such recalls and promptly responding can prevent dangerous incidents and contribute to better product safety standards.
This development underscores the importance of being aware of recalls and following the guidance provided by manufacturers to ensure the safety of both users and their surroundings. Always keep an eye on the latest updates from tech companies to stay informed and safe.
