Owners of three particular Anker products need to stop using them right away.
The portable battery maker issued a recall notice this week due to potential battery fire hazards in a few of its products. While Anker’s recall notice noted that this problem should only affect a relatively small batch of batteries (i.e., those that were manufactured between Jan. 3 and Sept. 17 of this year), it’s still recalling every unit it has sold.
The three Anker products that are being recalled are as follows:

If you own any of those three products, immediately cease use of it and store it on a safe place. Anker has a form on its recall notice page where you can fill in the serial number on the product to get the recall process going. After that, Anker recommends disposing of the device somewhere that accepts lithium ion batteries.
This marks the second time in 2024 that Anker has had to issue a recall for the same issue. If you regularly use an Anker portable power bank, maybe just make sure it doesn’t get too hot.
