The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and a New York City company announced again the recall of portable phone chargers sold through Amazon after the devices were found to have overheated and caught on fire, resulting in an at least one death and reports of minor burn injuries.

The products under recall are Casely Wireless Portable Power Banks (Model E33A), made by Brooklyn-based Casely, because the lithium-ion battery in the devices can “overheat and ignite, posing risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards to consumers,” according to the CPSC and Casely.

About 429,200 of the units are under recall, the notice said. It also stated that the power banks were previously recalled in April 2025.

When the recall was first announced, the company received 51 consumer reports about the device’s battery “overheating, expanding or catching fire while they were charging their phones, resulting in six minor burn injuries,” the April 16 notice said.

In one instance in August 2024, a 75-year-old New Jersey woman was fatally injured after the charging device exploded on her lap, causing second- and third-degree burns, the notice said.

Since April 2025, there have been 28 additional reports from consumers that the battery has overheated, expanded, or caught on fire, according to the CPSC and the company.

In February, a 47-year-old woman was using the device to charge her cellphone on an airplane when it caught on fire and exploded, resulting in first-degree burns, officials said.

The Casely Power Pods have the model number printed on the back and “Casely” engraved on the front part of the device’s plate on its right side. They were sold on Amazon, through Casely’s website, and on other retail websites between March 2022 and September 2024 for between $30 and $70.

The April 2025 recall notice issued by the CPSC listed the devices as being manufactured in China.

The federal agency warned consumers not to throw the device or its lithium-ion battery in the trash, in street-level or curbside recycling bins, or in battery recycling boxes at retail stores.

“Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire,” the CPSC and Casely said.

They stated that local municipal household hazardous waste centers should be able to accept the device or the battery. Consumers can contact a hazardous waste center for further guidance.

The notice advised that consumers not use the power bank and contact Casely for a free replacement. Images of the products were posted on the company’s website.
