A company called iStore has issued a recall for its 5,000mAh Magnetic Wireless Power Bank (model IST-09991/W05) because its lithium ion battery can “overheat and ignite while charging,” posing a fire and burn risk. The recalled units can be identified by the iStore logo engraved on the front and the model number printed on the back. One photo should feature the front of the power bank with “recalled” written on it with a permanent marker, and the second should show the model number on the back. As we’ve recommended before, sticking to reputable and known brands can help reduce the risk of power bank overheating issues. Thousands of these power banks were purchased and potentially used on flights.
