Popular Travel Charger Just Recalled After Reports of Fires
If you've packed an Anker "PowerCore 10000" portable charger in your bag, now's the time to double-check the model number. Anker Innovations, one of the most recognized names in mobile charging tech, has recalled 1.15 million units of its PowerCore 10000 power bank (model A1263) after at least 19 reported cases of fires or explosions, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Sold between June 2016 and December 2022 through Anker's website, Amazon, eBay, and Newegg, the $27 charger has been a go-to for travelers and commuters alike. However, the lithium-ion battery inside some units poses a serious safety risk. It can overheat, melt plastic, and in some cases, catch fire. Anker confirmed the recall was issued 'out of an abundance of caution.' The CPSC reports that the incidents included two minor burn injuries and 11 cases of property damage totaling over $60,000. Anker is urging consumers to stop using the affected chargers immediately and to visit their website to see if their device is part of the recall. To receive a free replacement, customers will need to submit a photo showing the charger's model and serial number, along with their name, the date, and the word "recalled" written on the device. The company has detailed instructions online to walk users through the process. It's also important to note: don't toss these power banks in the trash. Lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of according to specific local guidelines due to their risk of fire in standard waste and recycling systems. While lithium-ion batteries power everything from smartphones to e-bikes, they're increasingly under scrutiny for overheating incidents. Signs of trouble include odd smells, discoloration, swelling, or heat. If you notice any of these in any lithium-powered device, stop using it immediately. If you're carrying a power bank that's been with you for years, this might be a good time to check the label.

Exploding battery fears spark recall of 1.1 million portable chargers
Anker Innovations has issued a massive recall of approximately 1.1 million portable power banks due to a risk of fire and burn injuries, according to a notice published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission this week. The recall targets the Anker PowerCore 10000 model A1263, sold between June 2016 and December 2022 through Amazon, eBay, Newegg and Anker's website for around $27. The company has received 19 reports of the devices overheating or catching fire, including incidents that caused property damage totaling more than $60,000. Two users sustained minor burn injuries that did not require medical attention. The hazard stems from the lithium-ion battery within the unit, which can overheat and pose a serious fire risk. Consumers are urged to stop using the product immediately. 'Only model number A1263 power banks sold in the U.S. with qualifying serial numbers are included in the recall,' the company stated. To receive a replacement, customers must provide a photo of the recalled unit with identifying information and the word 'recalled' written on it. Anker will accept claims without a purchase receipt, but requires confirmation that the battery was disposed of through a local hazardous waste collection center.
