Anker Recalls Certain MagGo Power Banks: Fire Hazard Risk

Anker has issued a recall for its Anker 334 MagGo batteries (PowerCore 10K, model number A1642), Anker Power Banks (model number A1647), and Anker MagGo Power Banks (model number A1652). The company states that due to a manufacturing defect, the lithium-ion batteries in these power banks may overheat, posing a fire hazard.

In June, another Anker mobile charger was recalled for the same issue. While the company claims that only a small number of batteries are affected by the defect, they are recalling all three portable chargers out of an abundance of caution.

Users can identify the recalled power banks by checking the name, model number, and serial number located on the back or bottom of each device. Affected power banks can be recognized by the product name and model number (A1642, A1647, and A1652) printed in white on the bottom or back.

Anker recommends that if you own one of the affected models, immediately stop using it, store it in a safe place, and verify the serial number (located near the model number) before completing the recall form to receive a replacement product.

Anker emphasizes that the affected power banks should not be discarded carelessly due to the fire risk, but should be taken to an organization capable of safely handling lithium-ion batteries. In the United States, users can find battery recycling locations through the Environmental Protection Agency website or other organizations specializing in electronic waste disposal.

Specific Recall Procedure:

1. Confirm if your device is part of the recall: Check the back or bottom of your device to see if the product name and model number are A1642, A1647, or A1652.

2. Stop using your device: Immediately stop using the affected power bank and store it in a safe place.

3. Verify the serial number: Before completing the recall form to receive a replacement product, please verify the serial number (located near the model number).

4. Safe Recycling: Do not dispose of the affected power bank carelessly. Contact your local government or relevant environmental agencies to find an organization that can safely handle lithium-ion batteries.

Anker apologizes for the inconvenience caused by this product recall and promises to provide affected users with a timely and effective solution. For any questions, please contact Anker customer service for more information.
