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