Anker recalls three of its power banks because of a manufacturing flaw that makes them a fire risk.
Many people will just go into a drug store and pay a ridiculous amount of money for a no-name 5000mAh power bank without giving it a second thought. But phone connoisseurs and enthusiasts will end up buying a power bank from Amazon or other online stores where you can pay the same price as that power bank sold in the drug store costs but it will have two to six times the battery capacity. You should always have a charged-up power bank whenever you go out just in case.

One of the most popular brands is Anker which sells a wide variety of power banks. If you use an Anker power bank, you need to pay attention now. The company has recalled three power banks because of a potential fire risk. The models include the Anker 334 MagGo Battery (PowerCore 10K), the Anker Power Bank, and the Anker MagGo Power Bank. All three have a manufacturing defect that could result in the lithium-ion batteries overheating which could melt plastic components used in the power bank to become a smoke and fire hazard.
