Anker's statement

According to Anker Innovations, the likelihood of malfunction is considered minimal, but they have decided to initiate the recall.

This is probably a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of all their power banks.

In the coming weeks, we’ll also be sharing more about how we’re expanding our battery safety program—further strengthening our commitment to quality, transparency, and peace of mind for our customers.

If your product is confirmed to be affected:
