Costco has recalled about 350,000 Ubio Labs power banks because they can overheat and catch fire. The recall includes black 10,000mAh Slim Portable Batteries with model number PWB1071, which were sold individually or in two-packs. Costco has received three reports of fires caused by these devices, including one incident on a commercial flight that resulted in four people suffering from smoke inhalation and one minor burn injury.
The power banks can overheat and ignite during use or storage, posing a significant fire and smoke inhalation hazard to consumers, especially in confined spaces like aircraft.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled power banks and contact Costco for a full refund. Ubio Labs is no longer in operation. Costco has contacted all known purchasers directly.
Costco item numbers are printed on the packaging: 1314518 for the single pack and 1265470 for the two-pack.
