(NewsNation) — More than 30,000 wireless power banks have been recalled after multiple reports of fires and explosions, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The affected ESR HaloLock models — 2G520, 2G505B and 2G512B — were sold on Amazon between September 2023 and last month, when they were removed from sale. More than 24,000 power banks were sold in the United States, and nearly 10,000 were sold in Canada.

“The lithium-ion battery in the recalled power banks can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers,” the CPSC said.

ESR received nine reports of the chargers “catching fire and exploding,” which led it to issue the recall. No injuries were reported, but the incidents have caused about $20,000 in property damage, according to the CPSC.

Customers can receive a refund by emailing support@esrtech.com with their order number and a photo of the power bank marked “recalled” in permanent marker.

ESR advised disposing of the devices “in accordance with local and state hazardous waste disposal regulations.”
