Product-safety page. The recall details are quoted from official US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) notices. We’ll add new recalls as they’re published. If anything here differs from the official notice, the official notice is correct.
Covers only the recalls listed on this page (US CPSC). No match doesn't prove your power bank is safe. Search cpsc.gov/Recalls, the EU Safety Gate and the UK product recalls list too.

How do I identify the HAIARA W5 PRO?
CPSC: The power banks are black and have “20W” printed on the front and “Model: W5 PRO” printed on the side. The seller name, Mitrytech, and brand name, HAIARA, are located on the purchase receipt. This warning applies to power banks with no date code (formatted “YYYYMMDD”) printed on the side.
Reported incidents: Mitrytech has been made aware of 600 reports of fire and other thermal incidents, including three reports of burn injuries and nine reports of property damage.
To get a refund, CPSC says consumers will be required to submit a photo of their recalled power bank with the word “recalled” written on it in permanent marker and confirm disposal of the power bank in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
HAIARA’s page gives the email as HAIARArecall@outlook.com (haiara.net).
How do I identify the NEWDERY ZHX-PB22?
CPSC: The power banks are black with yellow cables. The brand name “NEWDERY” is engraved on the front and the model number “ZHX-PB22” is printed on the back.
NEWDERY has received nine reports of the recalled power banks exploding and igniting, including one report of a serious fire resulting in $2 million in property damage and one report of a burn injury.
How do I identify the Casely E33A?
CPSC: The Casely Power Pods 5000mAh portable MagSafe wireless phone charger has model number E33A printed on the back and “Casely” is engraved on the front side of the plate on the right side.
The 2026 reannouncement reports 28 more incidents since the first recall, including two incidents resulting in one fatality and one serious incident on an airplane.

What should I do with a recalled power bank?
- Stop using and charging it immediately.
- Follow the firm’s refund or replacement steps (photo with “recalled” in permanent marker).
- Don’t put it in household trash or recycling. CPSC:
Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact it ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries.
How do I choose a safer replacement power bank?
These are general buying tips, not test results:
- Buy from a brand that publishes safety documentation and has a clear support and recall process. Be wary of unknown marketplace brands with very low prices. All three recalls above were sold online, mostly on Amazon.com.
- Look for recognised safety certification marks on the product and listing (for example a UL listing in the US, and CE/UKCA marking in Europe/UK). Then confirm the certification in the certifier’s database rather than trusting the listing.
- Match capacity to your need, and check your airline’s rules before flying with one.
We haven’t tested any replacement models yet, so we’re not naming one. If you want a well-known brand, Anker sells a range directly: Anker power banks (US store) .
TODO: hands-on picks. After testing, add 3–5 specific models with verified certifications, capacity and price, and a photo of each certification label.

Frequently asked questions
How do I check the HAIARA date code?
Look at the side of the power bank. CPSC says the recall applies to HAIARA W5 PRO power banks with no date code formatted “YYYYMMDD” printed on the side. If there's no date code, your unit is part of the recall.
Do I need my order number for a HAIARA refund?
No. HAIARA's recall page says the order number is optional, though it helps them process your request faster. You must email a photo of the power bank with “recalled” written on it in permanent marker and confirm you've disposed of it in line with local laws.
Do I need a receipt for the Casely replacement?
No. CPSC's April 2025 notice says “Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required.”
How do I dispose of a recalled lithium power bank?
CPSC says not to put recalled lithium-ion batteries in the trash, curbside recycling or retail battery-recycling boxes, and to ask your municipal household hazardous waste centre first. In the UK and EU, ask your local council or waste authority how they accept damaged or recalled lithium batteries.
I'm in the UK or EU. Do these recalls apply to me?
The HAIARA and NEWDERY notices list Amazon.com as the place of sale. If you bought the same model elsewhere, stop using it and check the EU Safety Gate or the UK product recalls list. We haven't confirmed whether those lists include these models.
