MobilePower is recalling approximately 9,800 Instant Boost 500 Multi-Function Power Packs because they can overheat, leading to potential fires. There have been 13 reports of smoke and fire coming from these units, though no injuries have been reported. These black and blue portable power supplies were sold exclusively through QVC and are designed to provide AC/DC power, jumpstart vehicles, and inflate tires.
The internal components of the power pack can overheat during use or charging, causing the unit to smoke or catch fire. This poses a significant risk of property damage and potential injury to anyone nearby.
Consumers should stop using the recalled power packs immediately and contact QVC for instructions to return the units for a free replacement. MobilePower and QVC are contacting customers directly.
