Safety risk prompts Anker Innovations to recall over 1.1M power banks

Anker Innovations remember more than 1.1 million electric banks after some users have reported fires and explosions.

The company said that the problem could make the lithium -ion battery within some power banks that have the power angle 10,000 “lead to the melting of plastic ingredients, smoke and fire risk.”

The summons, which was announced on Thursday, specifically applies to the power banks carried by the Anker PowerCore 10,000, which bears the “A1263” model number and some serial numbers sold in the United States, according to the Consumer Product Safety Committee (CPSC).

The model and serial number can be found on a stained sticker on the bottom of the power bank.

There were 19 cases of fires and explosions related to the battery issue, according to the notification of CPSC.

“If your unit is confirmed that it is part of the summons, stop using it immediately,” said Anchr on his website. “Even if it seems to be working normally, there is still a risk of high temperature, fire or other safety problems.”

The owners of the energy banks that were called to provide a picture of “showing the model number, serial number, their name, the date of the image and the word written on the energy bank in a permanent sign” will need an alternative to each notice. They will have to provide evidence to get rid of energy banks safely.
