Casely Reannounces Recall of 429,200 Power Pods After Deadly Incidents

The CPSC now warns the lithium-ion batteries can ignite, posing a risk of serious injury or death.

Overview

  • Casely and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reannounced the recall Thursday, adding 28 new incident reports to last year’s action and elevating the hazard to include the risk of death.
  • The expanded notice covers 429,200 MagSafe-compatible Power Pod wireless chargers with 5,000mAh batteries, model E33A, sold online from March 2022 through September 2024.
  • Reported cases now include an August 2024 explosion that led to a New Jersey woman’s death and a February 2026 mid‑flight fire that caused first‑degree burns to a passenger.
  • Owners are urged to stop using the devices, request a free replacement or $60 store credit through Casely’s photo-based claim process, and dispose of units through local hazardous‑waste programs.
  • Affected units show Casely branding on the front and E33A on the back, and the reissued warning underscores wider risks from lithium‑ion power banks that can overheat, expand, ignite or explode.
