Recall: Portable charger sold on Amazon linked to fire, burn injuries
A recall for Casely portable chargers was made after the company received 51 reports of its product catching fire and overheating.
Consumers who reported the chargers said that the product's lithium-ion battery was overheating, expanding or catching fire while they were charging their phones, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
These accidents have resulted in six minor burn injuries.
The affected product is called the Casely Power Pods 5000mAh portable MagSafe wireless phone charger with model number E33A.
'Casely' is engraved on the front side of the plate on the right side, and the model number is printed on the back.
The pocket-sized power pods are compatible with various devices and are sold in a variety of colors and patterns, the CPSC wrote. The pods measure 3 inches in length, 2 inches in width, 0.25 inches in depth and weigh about 3.2 ounces.
'Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wireless portable power banks,' the statement reads.
The affected products, which range between $30 and $70, were sold online, including on Casely's website and Amazon, from March 2022 to September 2024.
If consumers want to receive a free replacement, they can go to the firm's website and fill out the online form and submit two photographs.
One should be the front of the power bank with the word 'Recalled' on it and the date written in permanent marker. Customers are advised to immediately dispose of the power banks.
