Anker recalls three power banks due to fire risk - stop using them now

Design defects in three popular models spur Anker's second recall this year. Here's what you should do right away.

Although only "a small number of batteries" are affected, the company is asking customers to enroll in its Recall program "out of an abundance of caution." To safely dispose of a defective power bank, Anker suggests contacting "your local municipality or fire department" for possible options. In early June, the 321 Power Bank (PowerCore 5K) and the A3102 Soundcore Bluetooth speaker were recalled due to a similar design defect.
