Anker issues urgent recall over fire risk of power banks – full list of affected models

Anker, a well-known manufacturer of electronic accessories, has recently issued a voluntary recall for a number of its power bank models in the UK and overseas. This decision was made after the company discovered that the lithium-ion batteries used in these power banks have the potential to overheat during use, posing a safety risk to consumers.

The affected models include the Anker PowerCore 10,000mAh and 15,000mAh, as well as the PowerCore 26,800mAh and PowerCore+ 26,800mAh. These power banks were sold between December 2014 and July 2020, both online and in retail stores.

The safety of our customers is our top priority, which is why we have taken this precautionary measure to recall these power banks. We have identified a potential issue with the batteries used in these models, which could lead to overheating and in rare cases, even fire. As a responsible and ethical company, we believe it is our duty to take immediate action to ensure the safety of our customers.

We understand that this recall may cause inconvenience to our customers, but we urge them to stop using the affected power banks immediately and return them to us for a full refund or a replacement. We have also set up a dedicated webpage on our website where customers can check if their power bank is affected by this recall. We have also sent out emails to all customers who have registered their products with us, informing them about the recall and the necessary steps to be taken.
