About 500 Rockwood portable multi-function power packs are being recalled because their lithium-ion batteries can burst while charging. There have been two reports of these batteries bursting and emitting black smoke, which caused damage to carpet and walls, though no injuries have been reported. These black plastic power packs were sold for between $50 and $110 at Eastwood stores and online from January 2015 through October 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using these power packs and return them to Eastwood for a full refund.
The internal lithium-ion batteries can overheat and burst during the charging process. This pose a serious fire hazard and has already resulted in incidents involving smoke and property damage.
