Anker Powercore 10000 recall UK

[bigandclever]

I'll start this by saying I have sent Anker an email, awaiting their response.

Anyway, in the US there is a recall of Anker Powercore 10000 A1263 units because they can, er, blow up. They're on it, and the recall means either receiving a replacement (which seems to be continental US only) or a $30 gift card (to Anker.com). What isn't clear is what those outside the US (ie me) should be doing. Anyone come across this?

I'm going to have to search all my power banks now. I saw on Friday a larger Baseus BS-30KP365 had been recalled which I have. I also have several Anker ones similar to this. It makes you wonder about all the lesser brands that get sold.

I have the 13000 version of the Anker one.... It's not something I use very often, but dug it out of its hiding place just in case.

Not sure if the stories of "explosion" are just hyperbole/exaggeration.

Anker said:

Anker has received 19 reports of fires and explosions. This includes two reports of minor burn injuries not requiring medical attention and 11 reports of property damage totaling over $60,700.

Anyway, turns out they only care about specific serial numbers sold online at Anker, Amazon, Newegg and Ebay from June 2016 through December 2022. Mine doesn't have those characteristics, so I'm just waiting for them to confirm my house *definitely* won't burn down

The recall states the affected units were sold in the US only.
