Nearly 500,000 Charmast power bank chargers sold on Amazon are being recalled because of fire and burn hazards, Report informs via NBC News.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a release on its website that Charmast, based in China, has received 44 reports of the power banks’ overheating in a dangerous way, including four reports of consumers’ receiving burns or blisters.
Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled power banks immediately and contact Charmast for instructions on how to receive refunds.
Because the power banks contain lithium-ion batteries, the recalled items should not be thrown in the trash.
