Over 1 million Anker power banks recalled over burn risk

(CNN) – More than 1 million power banks from Anker Innovations Limited are being recalled.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says a problem with the lithium-ion batteries can cause the items to overheat, posing potential fire and burn hazards.

The company has received 19 reports of explosions and fires, which resulted in a few minor injuries and property damage.

The recall only applies to the A1263 model.

The power banks were sold online from 2016 through 2022.

Consumers are advised to contact Anker for a replacement.
