Electronics company Anker expanded an official global recall of some of its Power Bank products, adding five more models to a recall of the Anker PowerCore 10000 power banks with the model number A1263 announced earlier in June. The recall was initiated following 19 reports of the portable chargers catching fire and exploding. Anker’s products are made in China.
In addition to the June recall of the A1263 and a previous October 2024 recall of the A1642 PowerCore 10000, new products recalled are:
- Anker Power Bank 10000 Model A1257
- Anker Power Bank 20000 Model A1647
- Anker MagGo Power Bank 10000 Model A1652
- Anker Zolo Power Bank 20000 Model A1681
- Anker Zolo Power Bank 20000 Model A1689
Other Anker models, including two of CNET’s top picks for portable chargers — Anker 523 PowerCore Slim 10K PD and Anker PowerCore III 10K — aren’t impacted by the recall.
The Consumer Products Safety Commission previously reported that more than 1.1 million of the products sold in the US are affected by the recall. The company plans to replace the charging devices or offer $30 gift cards for Anker’s online store, but customers must submit photo evidence of ownership and also prove that they’ve disposed of the PowerCore devices properly.
