SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20260211-40A48-2147323667. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Matched catalog product: Anker Anker 535 Power Bank (PowerCore 20K) Model # A1366. Source model text: A1642. Incident: I have an Anker A1642 battery pack, Ankers site says mine is not part of the recall based on the SN. So I continued to use it. Last night my daughter was using it with her [REDACTED] and it clearly started to melt! The battery pack is now deformed between the USB A port and the button on it. I contacted Anker and they just referred me to the site which once again says its not part of the recall. So I think the recall need to be expanded to include more Serial Numbers or whatevers. Its clearly not safe that the device started to melt and deform.

Source model text: A1336. Incident: 3 Different Anker Model A1336 Power Banks purchased or received at different times have all failed the same way. 1st they stop charging at full speed and get a little warmer then they should while charging. Then after a few days to weeks they go from maybe a little warm to downright burning. They stay hot well after being unplugged and dont actually cool down until the bank has fully depleted over a few hours. I own a [REDACTED] camera and checked one of the devices while charging and it was at over even above 200 degrees F. Unplugged it remained at or around 180 degrees for hours. I have thermal images of this behavior.

Source model text: 150 yeti. Incident: I bought a goalzero 150 yeti from Amazon a couple of years ago, for about $4.00. The battery didn't last very long, then out of juice quickly. I tried it twice, just didn't work, thought I did something wrong so didn't return. I kept it plugged in at home just in case of power outages. I really figured it was just a bad battery, bought another. My husband went to install today, couldn't get the other one out. It had a large bulge in it, the case kept it from getting bigger. It looks like it was a defective battery. Not sure if battery or unit overheats or both.

Upon the extinguishment, the undersigned conducted an origin and cause investigation for this fire loss. During the course of the investigation found that the cause of the fire was an Anker 535 Power Bank (power core 20K) with PD 30W Max Output, Power IQ. The power bank was not being charged nor charging any other device at the time of the fire any was found on the floor in the bedroom. It was obvious that the device experienced "thermal runaway" and internally exploded (photographs of the device are available by the undersigned). The device was left at the scene so private insurance company could see the cause of the fire. The homeowner reported hearing a "sizzling" noise and shortly thereafter a "boom". The structure filled with smoke and the device ignited Class A combustible materials to burn. No injuries to any civilian or firefighter. The homeowner purchased the device on December 7, 2002.

Matched catalog product: Ryobi Ryobi Battery pack Model: P108 4ah, 72Wh. Source model text: Ryobi Lithium 18 V 4Ah Battery Pack. Incident: On April 6, 2013 the light in my home office flickered several times followed by a sound reminiscent of arcing of electricity. In a period of one to two minutes it reoccurred several times. Concerned, I looked out the window of the room and observed smoke exiting the attached garage from the side of the garage door. I immediately went into the garage thru a kitchen door and observed fire in the corner of the garage on a work bench where I had a Ryobi Battery and charger along with a few other tools. I grabbed a cheap red mop and began hitting the flames in an attempt to extinguish the fire. The mop broke and a grabbed a second mop. Eventually I was able to get the fire out but not before thick black smoke from the ceiling to about chest level was through the garage. I then exited the garage and called the 911. While waiting for the fire department, I opened the garage door to ventilate the smoke. By the time the fire department responded, the smoke had cleared and the firefighters checked to ensure the absence of further fire. They determined the cause of the fire to be the Ryobi charger and battery.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20190706-F476E-2147380052. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: LifePod LifePod Power Bank (LifePod 10000mAh Power Bank External Battery Portable Charger Pack with Built-in Type C and Micro USB Cable for [REDACTED] Cell Pho Sold by: INSTAdealZ). Incident: On June 10, 2019, while my wife was just about to leave the house, she noticed a hissing sound coming from the direction of a small wooden file cabinet in our bedroom. She went over to the area and noticed that the sound was coming from the LifePod Power Bank, which was not connected to an outlet or device, and which I had purchased from Amazon on April 15, 2019. This is the cut-and-paste from the Amazon entry: LifePod 10000mAh Power Bank External Battery Portable Charger Pack with Built-in Type C and Micro USB Cable for [REDACTED] Cell Pho Sold by: INSTAdealZ As soon as my wife picked up the battery, it spontaneously ignited. She threw it to the floor, which scorched our carpet. She then scooped it up with a paper plate (the only thing she had nearby at the time), and flipped it into the [whirlpool tub] in the bathroom, which burned and slightly melted the tub. She was able to extinguish the battery and then brought it outside away from the structure of the house. I filed a product review on [REDACTED], who has contacted me and removed the device from its inventory. Our insurance company has authorized payment of about $18K for the damages. Thankfully, nobody was physically injured.

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20191124-9D7E2-2147376376. Severity: Incident, No Injury. Product: ZeroLemon Toughjuice 30000 mAh USB External Battery Pack ZeroLemon Toughjuice ("ZeroLemon 30000mAh USB C External Battery Pack Ultra High Capacity Portable Rugged Charger" Description: "30000mAh USB C External Battery Pack: World's Toughest USB-C External Battery Pack @ 30000mAh Capacity. Charges the iPhone Xs Max up to 11 times, the Galaxy S10 Plus 6 times, Note 10 7 times. Huge battery life for long travel and camping. "). Incident: I purchased a 30,000 mAh lithium-ion portable battery bank called the Zerolemon Tough in Dec. 2018 off Amazon that is advertised as drop/shock-resistant. On 11-24-2019, after charging the power bank to 100% the device spontaneously combusted into flames in my bedroom after being dropped from a height of less than 3 ft on to a carpeted floor. The device intitially spewed electrical smoke for 10-15 seconds and then burst into flames quickly thereafter. Luckily I was able to throw the burning battery pack onto my concrete porch and let it burn itself out safely. There are numerous other reports on Amazon of similar incidents occurring to other customers, sometimes causing burns to skin or property. I believe these devices are extremely dangerous and likely faulty in nature. The device in question can be found for sale here: https://www.amazon.com/ZeroLemon-30000mAh-External-Capacity-Portable/dp/B071DV6WS8/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8.
