If you own a power bank, you need to check if it’s a faulty model. Casely has issued a recall for about 429,200 units of the Casely Power Pods through the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. The lithium-ion battery inside can overheat and ignite, posing a serious fire and burn risk.
Why has the Casely power bank been recalled?
This isn’t the first time Casely has recalled these power banks. The original recall was issued in April 2025, after 51 consumer reports of the battery overheating, expanding, or catching fire. Six people sustained minor burns at that time.
Since then, 28 more incidents have been reported, and the consequences have turned fatal in some cases. In August 2024, a 75-year-old woman in New Jersey was charging her phone with the power bank resting on her lap when it caught fire and exploded. She suffered second and third-degree burns and later died from complications.
How to check if your Casely power bank is affected
The recalled product is the Casely Power Pods 5000mAh portable MagSafe wireless phone charger. Look for the model number E33A printed on the back and the word “Casely” engraved on the front right side of the plate.
If you have this particular model, you should stop using it immediately. Do not throw it in regular trash or curbside recycling because lithium-ion batteries require special disposal. Contact your local municipal household hazardous waste collection center beforehand to confirm they accept recalled lithium-ion batteries.
How to get a replacement or refund
To get a free replacement or a $60 store credit, visit the website. You’ll need to fill out an online form and upload two photos: one showing the front of the power bank with the word “Recalled” and the date written in permanent marker, and one showing the model number on the back.
Once your details are verified, your chosen option will be processed. Replacement units will ship in about 2 to 4 weeks, and any gift card will be sent digitally.
Casely isn’t the only brand that has faced this issue. The popular Haribo power bank was also recalled last December over battery misalignment and structural defects. If you are looking for a MagSafe power bank, you might want to check out the recently released Baseus PicoGo AM31 Qi2 power bank.
