AP Specialties is recalling two-tone power bank chargers that can overheat and cause fires when charging or used to charge other devices. This hazard requires immediate action to prevent fire risks.
The charger can overheat during charging or when used to power other devices, potentially causing a fire. This happens because the internal components may not handle the electrical load safely under normal use conditions.
Owners of two-tone power bank chargers with specific color and model markings are affected. Those using the charger for charging phones or other devices are most at risk.
Look for chargers with a white top and black letters saying "OUT DC5V" and "IN DC5V". Units with a period after the lettering ("OUT DC5V.") are not part of this recall.
Immediately stop using the charger to prevent overheating and fire risk.
Contact AP Specialties for a return envelope and label to send the charger back for a free replacement.
