Charmast is recalling about 488,000 model W1056 power banks because the internal lithium-ion battery can overheat and ignite. There have been 44 reports of these power banks expanding, smoking, melting, or catching fire, including four reports of consumers receiving burns or blisters. The power banks were sold in black, blue, green, mint, pink, and white colors exclusively through Amazon.com from December 2018 through September 2024. Consumers should immediately stop using these devices and contact Charmast for a full refund.
The lithium-ion battery inside the power bank can overheat and ignite, which creates a significant risk of fire and burn injuries to consumers. Multiple incidents of the product melting or igniting have already resulted in reported blisters and burns.
Consumers should stop using the recalled power banks immediately and contact Charmast for instructions on how to receive a full refund. To receive a refund, consumers will be required to provide photographs of their model W1056 power bank, their names and dates of the photograph written in indelible (permanent) marker above the label, and the severed power cord. Consumers should dispose of the power banks in accordance with local and state regulations.
The brand name 'Charmast' is printed on the front and 'Model: W1056' is printed on the back label.
