About 11,000 HAIARA power banks recalled after fire and burn reports

A federal recall covers about 11,000 HAIARA W5 PRO power banks sold on Amazon by Mitrytech after reports that the lithium battery can explode and ignite. The recall cites 600 thermal incidents, three burn injuries and nine property damage reports, and consumers are being told to stop using the devices immediately.

Why it matters: - The recalled HAIARA power banks could ignite or explode, creating fire and burn hazards in homes, cars and bags. - The devices were sold online, which means many units may still be in circulation and in everyday use. - The recall covers a product that has already been linked to injuries and property damage.

What happened: - The recall was issued Oct. 29, 2026, for about 11,000 HAIARA power banks, model W5 PRO. - The units were sold on Amazon.com by Mitrytech. - The recall notice says the lithium battery can explode and ignite. - The recall number is 27-056. - The affected units were sold from May 2025 through September 2026.

The details: - The power banks are black. - “20W” is printed on the front. - “Model: W5 PRO” is printed on the side. - The warning applies to units with no date code in the “YYYYMMDD” format printed on the side. - The product sold for between $18 and $22. - The seller name and brand name appear on the purchase receipt. - The recall notice cites 600 reports of fire and other thermal incidents. - The recall notice also cites three burn injuries and nine reports of property damage. - Consumers are told to stop using the recalled power banks immediately. - Mitrytech is offering a full refund. - The refund process requires a photo of the power bank with “recalled” written on it in permanent marker and confirmation of proper disposal.

Between the lines: - Lithium-ion battery failures can escalate fast and create hazards before a user has much warning. - Online marketplaces can widen the reach of defective consumer electronics, making recall outreach harder. - People who were injured or had property damage may want to preserve the device, receipts and photos before discarding anything because those items can matter in a claim.

What's next: - Consumers who own the recalled units should stop using them and follow the refund steps from Mitrytech. - Anyone hurt or whose property was damaged may want to consult an attorney before disposing of the device. - The Law Offices of Jason Turchin says it is reviewing power bank fire and burn claims and offers a free consultation at (800) 337-7755 or more information.
