Consumers Warned to Stop Using These Anker Power Banks: See the Full Recall List
CHINA, JUN 30 – China's aviation regulator bans uncertified or recalled power banks on domestic flights after 15 fire incidents this year, doubling compared to 2024, to reduce fire hazards onboard aircraft.
- Anker Innovations announced a voluntary global recall of multiple power bank models on June 12 due to risks of overheating and fire worldwide.
- The recall comes after Anker discovered a manufacturing defect in lithium-ion battery cells supplied by a single vendor earlier this year.
- The recall includes about 1.1 million PowerCore 10000 units model A1263 and other models like A1257, A1647, and A1681, with fires causing burn injuries and over $60,000 in damages.
- Anker urges customers to stop using recalled devices immediately, verify eligibility via an online form using serial or order numbers, and offers either a $30 gift card or free replacement model A1388.
- Users must not dispose of power banks before confirmation, should return confirmed units to certified facilities or via courier, reflecting Anker's commitment to safety and regulatory compliance.
