Thousands Of Wireless Power Banks Recalled After Fires, Explosions

More than 30,000 wireless power banks have been recalled over risk of fire and explosions.

The recall involves ESR HaloLock Wireless Power Banks with model numbers 2G520, 2G505B and 2G512B, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The power banks have “ESR” printed on the back and the model number on the side. They also have “five circular LED display lights” on the side.

“The lithium-ion battery in the recalled power banks can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers,” the CPSC said.

The CSPC added that consumers should stop using the power banks immediately and contact Waymeet for a refund.

There have been nine reports of the power banks catching fire and exploding, the agency said. There have been no reported injures, but the malfunctions caused about $20,000 in property damage.

About 24,000 power banks were sold in the United States and about 10,000 in Canada between September 2023 and July 2025.

Consumers can email [email protected] with a photo of the recalled power bank with the model number and “recalled” written on the device in permanent marker.

The CPSC said consumers should dispose of the devices according to state and local guidelines. Lithium batteries pose a greater risk of fire than normal batteries and cannot be disposed in normal garbage or recycling bins.

More than one million Anker power banks were recalled in June for a similar problem, according to the agency.
