VC Group is recalling about 89,500 Velvet Caviar MagSafe-compatible 5,000 mAh wireless portable power banks because the lithium-ion battery can overheat and ignite. The firm has received 19 reports of these products overheating or catching on fire, resulting in 10 minor injuries. Consumers can identify the recalled units by the "Velvet Caviar" engraving on the front and model number ZHX-PB21 on the back. These chargers were sold online at velvetcaviar.com and Amazon.com between November 2022 and October 2024 for approximately $6.
The internal lithium-ion battery in these power banks can overheat during use or charging, creating a hazard where the device may ignite. This poses a significant risk of fire and burn injuries to the user and potential fire damage to surroundings.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wireless portable power banks and contact VC Group for a free replacement power bank. To receive a replacement, consumers will be required to provide photographs of their power bank with the word "Recalled" written in permanent marker before uploading them to the firm's website at https://velvetcaviar.com/pages/magsafe-battery-pack-recall. Consumers should dispose of the power banks in accordance with local and state regulations.
Power Packs that do not have a PO number are also subject to this recall.
