Anker is facing a fiery issue with its 321 Power Bank. The company has issued a voluntary recall due to a manufacturing defect that could potentially cause the device to overheat, melt, and even catch fire.
While Anker assures that only a small number of units are affected, they’re taking the precautionary step of recalling all 321 Power Banks (PowerCore 5k, Model Number A1112) to ensure customer safety. The problem seems to be linked to a specific batch of batteries used in the devices after March 2023.
If you own one of these compact power banks with USB-C and USB-A ports, it’s crucial to check the model number on the bottom. If it matches the recalled model, Anker urges you to stop using it immediately. Store it safely and dispose of it properly at a facility that accepts lithium batteries.
To verify if your specific power bank is included in the recall, head over to Anker’s website and enter your device’s serial number. Don’t take any chances with your safety – take a moment to check and ensure you’re not carrying around a potential fire hazard.
