Fire hazard warning issued for 429,000 recalled tech accessories
- Replies 0
We rely on our favorite gadgets to power our lives—but what if one of the devices you use to could actually spark danger? That’s the concern now facing more than 429,000 consumers after a widespread safety alert.
A sleek, portable charger designed for convenience has now become a potential fire hazard, prompting an urgent warning from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
If you’ve purchased a Casely Power Pod 5000mAh MagSafe wireless charger in the last two years, it’s time to take a closer look—your device could overheat, catch fire, or even cause injury.

The recalled product is the Casely Power Pod, a compact MagSafe-compatible portable charger.
Sold between March 2022 and September 2024 through Casely’s website, Amazon, and other online retailers, these chargers were priced between $30 and $70.
The affected chargers are marked with model number E33A printed on the back. If you own one, the CPSC urges you to immediately stop using it.
The reason? At least 50 incidents have been reported involving the charger’s lithium-ion battery overheating, including six cases of minor burn injuries.
In the worst-case scenarios, the battery can catch fire—turning your everyday accessory into a dangerous liability.
Flip your charger over. If you see Model E33A on the back, your device is part of the recall.
Next, visit Casely's website to submit a request for a free replacement.
If you have a recalled charger, don’t toss it in the trash or your regular battery bin.
Lithium-ion batteries are highly combustible and require special handling.
Instead, contact your local household hazardous waste collection center to confirm they accept these types of batteries.
If they don’t, reach out to your city or town officials for guidance on how to dispose of the device safely.
This isn't the first alarming recall this month. Earlier, a batch of men’s vitamins sold on Amazon was pulled from shelves due to undeclared soy flour, a potentially life-threatening risk for those with allergies.
