The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of more than 42,000 power banks sold by Target, Amazon and other online merchants due to a fire risk.
The CPSC said the lithium-ion batteries in Anker 535 Poer Banks (PowerCore 20k) can overheat.
The power banks are model A1366 and have two USB cables. The model number is on the back of the battery pack and the name is engraved on the front.
The devices came in a variety of colors, and are about 3 inches wide, 6 inches long and 1 inch deep, selling for about $70. They can be used to charge laptops, tablets or phones with a 30W maximum output, the CPSC said.
Owners of the recalled power supply are being told to stop using them and to contact Fantasia Trading to receive a full refund and instructions on how to properly dispose of them, the CPSC said.
For more information call Fantasia Trading at 800-988-7973 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, via email or on Anker’s website.
