Overview
- The CPSC reannounced in April 2026 a recall (No. 26-418) covering about 429,200 Casely Power Pods due to fire and burn hazards.
- The action follows 28 new incident reports on top of an earlier 51, including an August 2024 explosion that later proved fatal and a February 2026 airplane fire that caused burns.
- The lithium-ion cells inside the chargers can overheat, swell, ignite, or explode, creating a risk of serious injury or death.
- Owners should stop using the devices, request a free replacement through Casely’s recall site with photos marked "Recalled," and use local hazardous-waste programs for disposal rather than trash or curbside recycling.
- Affected units are 5,000mAh MagSafe power banks labeled model E33A, sold online from March 2022 through September 2024 for $30 to $70 with "Casely" on the front and the model number on the back.
