Anker Recalls Popular Power Bank Over Fire Risk

Thursday, 1:20 PM by Rich Brome @rbrome.bsky.social

Anker has recalled its PowerCore 10000 power bank (model A1263), which was sold between June 2016 and December 2022 in the United States. Anker has received 19 reports of fires and explosions with this model. The power bank was popular, selling over 1 million units. Owners should immediately stop using the product. Anker is offering affected customers a free replacement power bank (an equivalent newer model) or a $30 gift card for anker.com (the recalled unit sold for about $27). Anker has set up an online form to check for eligibility (by serial number) and submit a claim that includes photos of the recalled power bank.
