Summary

Approximately 4,500 T119 Elf power bank chargers are being recalled because the portable battery units can overheat while recharging. These portable chargers, which were given away as free promotional items, measure about 4 inches long and feature a wire key loop. While no injuries or property damage have been reported, Spector & Co. has received two reports of the units overheating. Consumers should immediately stop using these power banks and contact the company for a free replacement.

Risk

The internal battery components can overheat during the charging process, creating a risk of fire that could lead to property damage or serious burns.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using and charging the T119 Elf power bank chargers.
  2. Identify your unit by checking for the model 'T119 Elf' and the dimensions (4 inches long by 3/4 inch high/wide). The sides are gun metal blue, black, red, or gray, and the top is black with white lettering reading '5V OUT' and '5V IN'.
  3. Look for the name or logo of an organization on the side of the power bank, as these were distributed as promotional giveaways between May 2016 and January 2019.
