Anker Recalls PowerCore 10000 Power Banks Because of Fire Risks: What to Know

According to an alert posted Thursday by the Consumer Products Safety Commission, more than 1.1 million of the products sold in the US are affected by the recall. The company plans to replace the charging devices, but customers who have them must submit photo evidence of ownership and also prove that they've disposed of the PowerCore devices properly before receiving a replacement. It recommends contacting a local hazardous waste collection center versus disposing of it in the trash or through standard recycling services.
