CPSC Swiftly Recollects More Than 400,000 Portable Power Banks

power banks can present a significant fire hazard that may result in injury or fatalities. According to the CPSC, there was a reported death linked to the initial recall. Furthermore, following the April 2025 recall, a Casely battery ignited on an aircraft, indicating that not all consumers might be informed about the recall.

The April 2025 recall was initiated after Casely received 51 complaints from customers indicating that the 5,000 mAh portable power bank (model number E33A) displayed hazardous behavior during operation. Consumers reported issues such as overheating, swelling, or the battery pack igniting completely. At the time of the initial recall, Casely disclosed six minor burn injuries. The updated recall information, available on the CPSC website, indicates that 28 more incidents have been reported since the first recall, including the two serious cases mentioned earlier.

The first incident occurred in August 2024, before the initial recall, when a 75-year-old woman sustained second and third-degree burns while charging her smartphone with the Casely E33A battery pack on her lap. The power bank ignited, and the woman later passed away due to complications from her injuries. In February 2026, a 47-year-old woman was charging her phone with the power bank aboard an airplane when the battery pack caught fire and exploded, causing her to suffer first-degree burns.
