anker power bank recall fires.

More than 1.15 million power banks are under recall across the U.S. after some fires and explosions were reported by consumers. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, electronics maker Anker Innovations is recalling certain “PowerCore 10000” power banks because the lithium-ion battery inside can overheat — posing fire and burn risks. China-based Anker has received 19 reports of fires and explosions involving these now-recalled portable chargers. That includes two minor burn injuries and 11 reports of property damage amounting to over $60,700. Consumers in possession these now-recalled chargers are urged to stop using them immediately — and contact Anker for a free replacement.
