Anker recalls MagSafe iPhone batteries over fire risk


Stop using these batteries immediately.

By Andrew Liszewski, a senior reporter who's been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2011, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. Anker says the affected power banks should not be thrown away due to the risk of fire but should instead be taken to facilities that can safely dispose of products featuring lithium-ion batteries. In the US, users can find locations that will recycle the power banks through the Environmental Protection Agency’s website or other organizations that specialize in handling e-waste.
