This recall involves the iStore Magnetic Wireless Power Bank, 5000 mAh portable charger. Only model number IST-09991/W05 power banks are included in the recall. The iStore logo is engraved on the front side of the power bank, and the model number is printed on the back, as shown in the photos above. Some units may also have the word “iStore” printed above the model number. The power banks are compatible with various mobile devices, and measure 3 inches by 2 inches by 0.25 inches and weigh around 3.2 ounces. The product was sold with a USB-C to USB-C cable that measures about 12 inches long.Note: Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or 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 that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.
Hazard
The lithium-ion battery in the recalled power banks can overheat and ignite while charging, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.
Incidents & Injuries
The firm has received three reports of the wireless power banks overheating and exploding while they were charging, including one incident that resulted in a minor burn to the victim’s arm. The firm received reports of property damage of about $15,000.
Remedy Instructions
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wireless portable power bank and go to the firm’s website to participate in the recall. Consumers will be asked to submit two photographs via email to [email protected]. The first photograph should be the front of the power bank with the word “Recalled” and the date written on it with permanent marker. The second photograph should include the model number, which is located on the back of the power bank. A purchase receipt will be requested but will not be required to participate in the recall. Consumers should immediately dispose of the power banks in accordance with local and state hazardous waste disposal regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Follow the consumer action instructions in the recall notice above. Most recalls require you to stop using the product and contact the manufacturer directly — either by calling the toll-free number listed in the official CPSC notice or by visiting the manufacturer's website. You generally do not need a receipt or original packaging to claim a remedy. The manufacturer is legally required to provide the remedy (Refund) at no cost to you.
If the product caused a fire or burn injury, document the incident with photos and preserve the product if it is safe to do so. Report the incident to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov and to your local fire department. Contact the manufacturer to inform them of the incident — they are required to track and report injuries to CPSC. You may also want to consult a personal injury attorney, as fire and burn injuries caused by defective products can be grounds for a product liability claim against the manufacturer.
In most cases, no. CPSC-coordinated recall remedies are designed to be accessible without proof of purchase. Manufacturers typically ask consumers to self-certify ownership and may ask for photos of the product or its serial number. Some manufacturers request that you mail in a portion of the product (such as a cut cord or removed component) as proof of disposal. Check the specific remedy instructions for this recall for exact requirements. If you registered your product at the time of purchase, the process is usually even simpler.
If the original manufacturer has gone out of business, the recall remedy may no longer be available through them. In this case, contact CPSC directly at 1-800-638-2772 or cpsc.gov for guidance. If the brand was acquired by another company, the acquiring company may have assumed recall obligations. In some cases where a remedy is unavailable, CPSC advises consumers to safely dispose of the product. If you were injured by the product of a defunct company, consult a product liability attorney — parent companies, distributors, and retailers may still bear liability in some circumstances.
