Another power bank recall has been announced, this time involving the brand Casely. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Casely have reissued the recall this April after one power bank caused a fatal fire. This marks the tenth power bank recall in the U.S. in the past year, following Anker’s recall of 1.5 million power banks in 2025.
This recall concerns approximately 429,200 Casely 5,000-mAh MagSafe Power Pods (Model E33A), initially recalled in 2025. These MagSafe power banks must be entirely replaced.
Customers affected by the recall are advised to stop using the portable power banks immediately and to contact Casely to obtain a free replacement.
The recall was reannounced by the Brooklyn-based company following 51 reports of the lithium-ion battery overheating, expanding, and/or catching fire while charging smartphones, resulting in six minor burn injuries. Over the past year, the CPSC has received 28 additional reports, including incidents involving explosions on an airplane and one fatality.
In one reported case from August 2024, a 75-year-old woman from New Jersey suffered fatal second and third-degree burns when the power bank she was using to charge her phone ignited in her lap. Another incident in February 2026 involved a 47-year-old woman using the power bank on an airplane; it caught fire and exploded, causing first-degree burns.
To determine if your Casely Power Pod is affected, check the back of the device for the model number. If it reads “E33A,” stop using the device immediately.
Detailed information on obtaining a replacement power bank is available on the CPSC and Casely recall websites.
