  • Anker has announced a recall of over 1.1 million PowerCore 10000 power banks due to fire risks, following 19 reports of fires and explosions that resulted in minor injuries and property damage exceeding $60,700.

  • The recall was officially announced by the Consumer Products Safety Commission on June 12, 2025.

  • Consumers can identify the recalled units by the Anker logo and model number A1263, which applies only to devices sold in the U.S. with specific serial numbers.

  • These affected power banks were sold online through platforms like Amazon, Newegg, and eBay from June 2016 to December 2022.

  • In addition to the PowerCore 10000, Anker is recalling three other models: the 334 MagGo 10K battery, the 321 Power Bank (5K), and the 535 Power Bank (20K).

  • Owners of the affected PowerCore 10000 power banks are advised to stop using them immediately and check if their device is included in the recall.

  • To participate in the recall process, customers must submit their name, contact information, and a photo of the power bank showing the model and serial number along with the word 'recalled.'

  • Confirmed recalled units must be disposed of safely at certified facilities, and customers should provide proof of disposal to Anker.

  • Upon confirmation of proper disposal, customers can choose between a $30 gift card for Anker.com or a replacement Anker Power Bank 10K, 22.5W.

  • While a purchase receipt is recommended, it is not mandatory for recall participation; proof of purchase is suggested but not required.

  • Anker advises against disposing of the recalled devices in standard trash or recycling and recommends contacting a hazardous waste collection center instead.

  • For questions regarding the recall, customers can email Anker support or call their designated support line.
