Major Safety Alert from Anker!

Anker is back in the spotlight, and not for good reasons. Just when consumers thought they could rely on their power banks, the company has announced a crucial recall of **five additional models** due to serious fire risks. Customers are advised to **stop using their power banks immediately** due to potential overheating, melting, smoke, or even fire.

Why the Recall?

The tech giant's latest recall comes only weeks after it flagged a similar issue with its popular **PowerCore 10000 model**. The culprit? A **'potential issue'** with lithium-ion batteries supplied by an unspecified supplier. While Anker insists that the chances of malfunction are low, the company is understandably erring on the side of caution.

Affected Models – Is Your Power Bank at Risk?

If you own any of the following power bank models, it's time to check those labels! The affected devices include: - **Anker Power Bank (models A1257 and A1647)** - **Anker MagGo Power Bank (model A1652)** - **Anker Zolo Power Bank (models A1681 and A1689)** You can find the model number on the back or side of your device.

What to Do If You’re Affected?

Anker is stepping up for its customers with a generous offer: you can choose between a **FREE replacement power bank** or a gift card for the Anker website. To claim your compensation, simply submit a **recall claim form** on Anker's website along with a verified serial number or proof of purchase.

Dispose of Affected Devices Safely!

Worryingly, Anker has stressed that any recalled power banks must be disposed of **safely**. These devices should not be tossed in your regular trash or recycling bins. Instead, take them to a facility that accepts lithium-ion batteries to avoid the risk of fires.

Understanding the Risks

The **US Consumer Product Safety Commission** has reported **19 incidents** of fires and explosions linked to the prior PowerCore model. Although no similar reports have surfaced for the newly recalled models, Anker’s swift action indicates a serious commitment to consumer safety. The company has also formally informed global regulatory authorities to ensure compliance with safety guidelines.

Stay Alert and Safe!
