"Back in mid-June, Anker, along with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) , issued a recall for the Anker A1263 PowerCore 10000 power bank because Anker had received 19 reports of fires and explosions. These reports included two for minor injuries and 11 for property damage totaling over $60,700. This was a popular power bank, with over a million units sold between June 1, 2016, and December 31, 2022, through retailers such as Amazon, Newegg, and eBay, as well as on Anker's own website."
"Then, at the end of June, Anker recalled a further five power banks -- Anker Power Bank models A1257 and A1647, the Anker MagGo Power Bank model A1652, and the Anker Zolo Power Bank models A1681 and A1689 -- because of faulty batteries. According to Anker, "the likelihood of malfunction is considered minimal," but the recall was issued "out of an abundance of caution" because of a "risk of overheating, melting, smoke, or fire.""
Anker issued multiple recalls for several power banks between June and July 2025 because of reports of fires, explosions, and faulty batteries. The A1263 PowerCore 10000 was recalled after 19 reports, including two minor injuries and 11 incidents of property damage totaling over $60,700; more than one million units sold between 2016 and 2022 were affected. Additional models recalled at the end of June include A1257, A1647, A1652 (MagGo), A1681, and A1689 due to battery faults and risks of overheating, melting, smoke, or fire. Owners should stop using recalled units and follow recall instructions.
