Power Banks Sold on Amazon Recalled over Burn, Fire Risks
The recall follows 15 overheating reports, including 11 fires causing three minor injuries and over $380,000 in property damage, officials said.
- The CPSC announced Friday that about 210,000 INIU BI-B41 10,000mAh power banks sold on Amazon were recalled for fire and burn hazards.
- Battery defects prompted regulators to act, as INIU reported 15 overheating incidents including 11 fires and three minor burn injuries causing about $400,000 in property damage.
- Only devices bearing serial numbers 000G21, 000H21, 000I21 and 000L21 in black or blue shells with INIU logo and paw-print LED sold on Amazon.com from August 2021 to April 2022 for about $18 are included.
- Owners should stop using affected units and visit INIU's recall web page to verify serial numbers, register for refunds, and note the 15-day response promise; officials advise contacting municipal HHW or accredited lithium-ion recycling centers for safe disposal.
- Iniu acknowledged the issue and said, "Through our enhanced quality assurance protocols, we identified a potential issue with specific battery cells used in limited batches of our BI-B41 power bank," while the National Fire Protection Association notes lithium-ion batteries pose fire risks widely.
