A US Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled over 429,000 Casely wireless power banks due to an overheating issue that poses fire and burn hazards. The recall affects the “Casely Power Pods 5000mAh portable MagSafe wireless phone charger” sold on various online retailers from March 2022 to September 2024.
Reports of the power packs overheating and igniting led to six minor burn injuries, prompting Casely to issue a free replacement for affected customers. The recall urges consumers not to dispose of the item without proper disposal at municipal household hazardous waste collection centers.
