Eight power bank recalls in the past year: the model numbers to check before you pack one

If a power bank lives in your glovebox, tent pocket or day pack, check it against this list before your next trip. The Consumer Product Safety Commission posted eight power bank recalls between November 13, 2025 and October 29, 2026. We found them by searching every recall in CPSC’s recall database for that window on November 1, 2026, then reading each notice on cpsc.gov.

The newest is the worst by incident count. On October 29, CPSC and the seller recalled about 11,000 HAIARA W5 PRO power banks after 600 reports of fire and other thermal incidents, including three burn injuries.

The list

Recall date	Brand and model	Where it was sold	How to tell
Oct 29, 2026	HAIARA W5 PRO	Amazon (Mitrytech), May 2025 to Sept 2026	Black, “20W” on front, no YYYYMMDD date code on the side
Sept 24, 2026	NEWDERY ZHX-PB22	Amazon, Oct 2023 to Nov 2024	Black with yellow cables, model on the back
Sept 3, 2026	XO Poppy Power Trip, PYPBK5M	TJX and Marshalls, Apr 2025 to Mar 2026	Cream, bow print or teddy bear print, magnetic
July 9, 2026	Flaunt MagSafe E33A	flauntcases.com, May 2024 to Apr 2025	”Model: E33A” on the back label
June 25, 2026	Super Off-Road 12,000 mAh Solar Wireless	Promotional giveaway, 2019 to 2023	Black, solar charging, wireless charging, about 3.4 by 6.5 inches
Apr 9, 2026	VEEKTOMX VT103	Amazon, Jan to Sept 2024	White, pink or purple, no serial number on the back
Dec 5, 2025	INIU BI-B41	Amazon, Aug 2021 to Apr 2022	Serials 000G21, 000H21, 000I21, 000L21 only
Nov 13, 2025	Belkin BPB002 and PB0003	Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Amazon and others, 2020 to 2025	BPB002 serials start “35S”; every PB0003

The Super Off-Road one is the easiest to miss. It’s the only solar unit on the list, and CPSC says it was “given away as promotional items by various companies,” so you may own one without remembering where it came from.

The catch

Three of these recalls turn on a detail, not the model. The HAIARA recall covers only units with no date code, the VEEKTOMX recall only units with no serial number, and the INIU recall only four serial batches. Read the label rather than assuming yours is in or out. The INIU recall is the biggest here, about 210,000 units, but it covers only those batches.

This list is power banks only. The Goal Zero Yeti 3000X power station recall is a separate case with a firmware fix.

What to do

1. If yours matches, stop using it. Every notice says that.
2. File the claim. Seven of the eight remedies are refunds, and several ask for a photo of the unit with “recalled” written on it in permanent marker. VEEKTOMX sends a replacement. Contacts are on each CPSC page linked above.
3. Don’t drop it in a campground dumpster. CPSC’s notices say a recalled lithium-ion battery doesn’t go in the trash, in curbside recycling, or in the battery boxes at hardware stores. Call your municipal household hazardous waste center first and ask whether it takes recalled lithium-ion.
