Casely MagSafe-Compatible Power Banks Recalled Again After Fire-Related Death and In-Flight Explosion

You can tell this company is family run when the product itself doesn't even have a serial number.

They made some money selling cases, but batteries are a different league.

So any product without a serial number comes from a family-run company?

Obviously that's just a product rendering, the real thing has a batch number.

It is always better to buy power banks from other reputable brands.

To those that disagreed with this comment: hot take! 🤣

Slightly off topic, but I have a bunch if Li ion batteries for gardening equipment, with some of the batteries are becoming old. Regrettably none of these have an expiry date to judge when they should be returned for recycling, leaving only poor charging as indication the battery should go to recycling, so I keep them in a fire/explosion proof bag. Also, when I charge any new device, like an iPhone, I try to enclose it in one of the bags in case there is some sort of manufacturing fault.

A house in my town burned to the ground from a faulty scooter battery that blew and the resulting fire took out the adjacent house as well because of high winds fanning the flames....

Companies like this should not be allowed to continue making products after multiple recalls that have caused death.

It's the ones that don't do recalls you should be worried about.

No, the real thing does not. Plenty of review videos of this product. And those are clearly photos of the real thing, not a “rendering.”

This is the reason punitive damages must never be capped.

Agreed but the punitive damages should go to society as a whole rather than the victim(s) and their lawyers.

FGS, that’s not a rocket science or a nanotechnology. It’s not even that Micro electronics.

Gross negligence waiting for class action.

 

[KnowsHowItWorks]

Not sure who “the society” is, but all passengers of such ruined flight should have cause of action.

This problem is why I think airlines will essentially ban power banks larger than 10,000 mAh (37 watt hours) storage capacity.
