Health Canada announces nationwide recall of Anker power banks due to being a potential fire hazard

GLOBAL, JUN 27 – Anker recalled over one million power banks worldwide due to lithium-ion battery defects that may cause overheating, smoke, melting, or fire hazards, prompting safety disposal instructions and replacement offers.

  • Chinese charging peripherals maker Anker Innovations has forged a strategic partnership with battery maker Amperex Technology Limited , moving swiftly to secure a new battery cell supplier after jointly recalling more than a million power banks.
  • Anker and rival Romoss last week recalled more than 1.2 million power banks, halting sales of affected models and urging customers to seek refunds or replacements due to defective battery cells from an unnamed supplier, which posed overheating and fire risks.
  • Anker has now issued a second, broader recall, this time with global reach and five additional power bank models affected, as a proactive step following recent improvements to its internal quality assurance systems.
