It recommends contacting a local hazardous waste collection core versus disposing of it in the garbage or through normal recycling companies.

In addition to instructing clients to quit using the batteries instantly, the CPSC says:

To get a replacement, consumers may be required to post a picture of their recalled power banks showing the design number, serial number, their name, the date of the photograph, and the word “recalled” written on the power bank in permanent marker. A purchase receipt will be requested but will not be required to participate in the recall. Consumers will also be required to confirm disposal of the power bank in accordance with applicable laws and regulations before receiving a replacement.

The PowerCore, made in China, is one of four current power bank recalls that have been issued by Anker. The others include the 334 MagGo 10K battery, the 321 Power Bank (5K) and the 535 Power Bank ( 20K). &nbsp,
