Urgent nationwide recall for portable charger after dozens burst into flames
An urgent recall has gone out for anyone who has bought a popular portable charger that's now been linked to dozens of dangerous malfunctions and fires. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has recalled all Baseus 65W 30000mAh Portable Chargers throughout the US. In total, CPSC believes more than 55,000 of these chargers were sold. Safety officials warn that the lithium-ion battery in the charger can overheat, deform, and eventually burst into flames. There have been 72 reported incidents where the Baseus portable charger experienced 'bulging,' where the battery begins to swell up like a balloon before exploding in flames. Bulging in lithium-ion batteries occurs when internal pressure builds up, causing the battery to deform. It's extremely dangerous because it can quickly lead to a fire, explosion, or leakage of hazardous materials inside the charger. Another four consumers reported actual fires that damaged their property. The portable chargers were available online at Amazon, AliExpress, Walmart, and Baseus's home site from April 2020 through April 2025. The recall includes Baseus portable chargers with model number BS-30KP365 and a serial number ending in the number 0 through 9 or the letter 'D,' which can be located on the bottom of the device. The recall includes Baseus portable chargers with model number BS-30KP365 and a serial number ending in the number 0 through 9 or the letter 'D' Anyone who has one of the recalled chargers is eligible to receive a free replacement from Baseus. 'Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled portable chargers and contact Baseus,' CPSC officials wrote in a statement. Customers with the recalled device will have to send a photo of their of the portable charger showing the model number and serial number to the company's recall registration website to get the free replacement. The recalled chargers were sold in black and white and have '65w' printed on the front. The bottom contains a printed label with the brand name 'Baseus,' the model number, and a serial number beginning with 'SN.' Safety officials with CPSC are urging owners not to put this battery in the trash. Avoid throwing in the normal garbage, in recycling bins, or even in battery recycling boxes at local retail and home improvement stores. Due to the potential for these batteries to explode, consumers need to find a municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center in their area that may accept lithium-ion batteries. These are special facilities run by towns or cities to safely collect and dispose of dangerous items that you can't throw in regular trash or recycling. Safety officials with CPSC are urging owners not to put this battery in the trash because of the risk that the battery might start a fire Several other portable chargers have been recalled in recent months over similar issues that led to dangerous fires. In March, nearly 90,000 Velvet Caviar MagSafe wireless power packs were pulled from store shelves after multiple batteries overheated and ignited. In April, 429,000 portable power banks were recalled due to the chargers' lithium-ion battery overheating, expanding, and catching fire. New York-based Casely urged customers to stop using its 'Power Pods' after there were 51 reports of the batteries exploding, resulting in at least six people being burned. Both the Baseus 65W 30000mAh Portable Charger and the Casely Power Pods were manufactured in China and sold online through major retailers like Amazon. Lawmakers in the US have been sounding the alarm over what they call cheaply-made lithium-ion batteries from China. In New York City alone, fire officials have reported over 400 fires caused by lithium-ion batteries between 2019 and 2023, many which were linked to Chinese-made batteries, according to US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. These charger batteries are also found in many e-bikes and e-scooters, which have led to several apartment fires in cities throughout the US in recent years.

However, a docking station allows you to open up possibilities with a larger work space when needed. And right now, this 9-in-1 USB-C docking station is on sale for 38% off at Amazon. That brings it down from $64 to just $40. You'll save a cool $24 on your purchase. See at Amazon Sure, it feels fine to work just with the laptop alone but we deserve better than fine: sometimes it's better to have a fully robust workstation. My desk has two monitors, each significantly larger than my laptop screen. This is great for viewing multiple tabs at once or for gaming or video editing. I have a mechanical keyboard with raised, clicky-clacky keys which I find much more satisfying to type on than the flat keypad of my laptop. The speakers on my desk are louder and deeper than the ones built-into my computer. I've got a drawing tablet, a DSLR I've hooked up as a webcam for exceptional camera quality, and a powerful microphone. My laptop simply does not support all of those at once on its own. Most laptops might have two USB ports on it and that's it. A docking station allows us to use all of these extra accessories when our desks and it's easy to hook up to. Just plug in the laptop to the docking station and everything will be connected. Easy as pie. All the Ports You Need in One Place Let's break down exactly what this docking station can do.

One of the issues with docking stations can sometimes be their passthrough. It's great to be able to connected to multiple monitors, but if you're playing games on your rig, if there is a loss in resolution or frames-per-second, you might find yourself avoiding a docking station all together. Good news here, though. This one allows for 4K passthrough at 120Hz. You'll still be able to play games in high detail with lightning-fast framerates. As far as USB goes, there is a USB-C power input capable of charging your phone, tablet, or other devices at 100W. The Baseus docking station also has three USB-A data ports, a USB-C data port, and a gigabit ethernet port. It's also got an SD and TF card reader. Right now, the Baseus docking station is down in price by a solid $22 (-38%). That brings it from $64 to just $40 for a limited time. See at Amazon
