What is the Problem?
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the lithium-ion battery in the recalled power banks can overheat and ignite while charging, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers. The CPSC has received at least three reports of the wireless power banks overheating and exploding while charging, including at least one incident that resulted in a burn injury. The CPSC warns consumers to stop using the iStore Magnetic Wireless Power Banks immediately.

What is Thermal Runaway?
Thermal runaway occurs when a device, such as a lithium-ion battery, overheats and triggers a chain reaction that causes it to become even hotter. It’s dangerous because it can cause fires, explosions, or release toxic gases, and is hard to stop once it starts.
