WASHINGTON, D.C. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Casely of Brooklyn New York are reissuing the recall of Casely Power Banks 5000mAh portable MagSafe wireless phone charger. The recalled power banks pose a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards to consumers. In fact, one woman was reported to have died and another individual suffered burns when their power bank chargers exploded.
Casely has previously issued a recall back in April 2025 of hundreds of thousands and yet many are still being used by consumers. The first recall was done after the firm had received 51 consumer reports of the lithium-ion battery overheating, expanding or catching fire while they were charging their phones. This over heating issue resulted in six individuals suffering minor burn injuries.
Since the initial recall was announced, there have been 28 additional consumer reports of the lithium battery overheating, expanding or catching on fire, including two incidents resulting in one fatality and one serious incident on an airplane. In August 2024, a 75-year-old woman from New Jersey, was charging her cell phone with the power bank on her lap when it caught on fire and exploded. The victim suffered second and third degree burns and later passed away from complications from her injuries. In February 2026, a 47-year-old woman was charging her cell phone with the power bank on an airplane when it caught on fire and exploded, resulting in the victim suffering first degree burns.
The Casely Power Pods 5000mAh portable MagSafe wireless phone charger has model number E33A printed on the back and “Casely” is engraved on the front side of the plate on the right side.
The power banks were sold online at getcasely.com, Amazon.com and other e-commerce websites from March 2022 through September 2024 for between $30 and $70.
Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, in the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or in used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact them ahead of time and ask whether they accept recalled lithium-ion batteries. If they don’t, contact your municipality for further guidance.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wireless portable power banks and contact Casely for a free replacement. To receive the free replacement, consumers should go to the firm’s website and fill out the on-line form and submit two photographs; one should be the front of the power bank with the word “Recalled” and the date written on it in permanent marker. The second photograph should display the model number which is located on the back of the power bank. The photos should be uploaded to the firm’s website at https://www.getcasely.com/pages/2025-recall. Consumers should immediately dispose of the power banks in accordance with local and state regulations.
