DANGER: In a world where consumer safety should always come first, nearly half a million phone chargers are being recalled as they pose a fire risk to customers.
The federal government’s Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) just announced that 430,000 Casely wireless phone chargers must be removed from the market due to overheating concerns.
The massive recall targets Casely’s 5,000mAh Power Pod portable chargers with model number E33A, manufactured between March 2022 and September 2024.
These popular American-made chargers have “Casely” engraved on the front and right sides, with the model number on the back.
The recall affects products that many hardworking Americans rely on daily to keep their phones charged while on the go.
The government claims there have been over 50 reports of the E33A model overheating, expanding, or catching fire, resulting in six minor burn injuries.
While safety concerns are legitimate, many Americans are wondering why similar scrutiny is not applied to the countless dangerous products flooding in from China each day.
Government officials are now telling owners of these devices that they cannot simply throw away the recalled power banks in the trash, general recycling, or even used battery recycling boxes.
Instead, the CPSC demands that users contact local household hazardous waste collection centers for “proper” disposal, creating yet another burden for busy Americans trying to comply with endless regulations.
Meanwhile, Casely is offering free replacements for affected Power Pods, but the process is not simple.
To receive a replacement, customers must fill out an online form and upload photos of the recalled device.
The company said it will contact customers who purchased a Power Pod directly, but many Americans who received these as gifts or purchased them through third parties may be left in the dark.
While the government is quick to issue recalls on American products, many patriots are asking why imported electronics with questionable safety standards continue to flood the markets.
The U.S. Fire Administration advised consumers to look for a “Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory” stamp on products when purchasing them.
Casely can be contacted toll-free by phone or email for those affected by this recall. Additional information is available on Casely’s website under the “recalls” section.
Although consumer safety is important, many Americans wonder when the government will apply the same standards to dangerous foreign imports as they do to American-made products.
