A power bank sold on Amazon is being recalled after hundreds of reports of fires and other heat-related incidents, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced.
The Haiara W-5 Pro power bank, sold on Amazon from May 2025 through September 2026 for between $18 and $22, contains a lithium battery that can explode and catch fire, the CPSC said. The recall applies to units with no date code printed on the side.
There have been 600 reports of fires, including three reports of burn injuries and nine reports of property damage.
Consumers should stop using the power bank immediately and contact the company for refund instructions. The company will ask consumers to send a photo of the power bank marked ârecalledâ and confirm they have disposed of it.

The recall highlights growing concerns about the safety of lithium-ion batteries in consumer electronics, particularly those sold through online marketplaces where oversight can be limited. The CPSC has previously warned about the risks of counterfeit or poorly manufactured batteries, which can overheat and ignite.
Local fire officials have urged residents to check their homes for the recalled product and to dispose of it properly at designated battery recycling locations, rather than throwing it in the trash, where it can pose a fire risk to waste collection workers and facilities.
