Power banks should juice up electronics, not burn down the house. That’s why Anker Innovations recalled about 1,158,000 Anker PowerCore 10000 power banks. Or, as the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall notice says, “The lithium-ion battery in the power bank can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.”

A faulty lithium-ion battery in another Anker device has been linked to fires and explosions - here's how to check if yours is affected and what to do next.

Anker recalls 1 million+ units of the PowerCore 10000 (A1263) after receiving over a dozen reports of the charger exploding or causing a fire.
