Casely power bank recall after a death

FOX 13, reporting on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), says the agency reissued its recall of about 429,200 Casely Power Pods (model E33A) on April 16, 2026.

What happened

The original Casely recall was in April 2025. Coverage says the agency tied one death to a power bank that caught fire while charging a phone. CPSC urges owners to stop using the power bank, contact Casely for a replacement, and not put it in household trash or standard recycling. TechRadar reported a separate Anker recall of about 481,000 power banks in September 2025, covering models A1647, A1652, A1257, A1681 and A1689.

What it means for your home

The Anker recall notice says the lithium-ion battery can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards. Check power banks in a go-bag or drawer before you need them.
