The death of a 75-year-old woman has prompted a new recall of more than 400,000 Casely wireless chargers.

On April 16, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Kayley re-announced a recall for approximately 429,000 Kayley Power Bank 5000mAh portable MagSafe wireless phone chargers. One woman who was using the charger died and another suffered first-degree burns. The wireless charger was recalled in April 2025.

At the time of the first recall, Casely had received 51 consumer reports of chargers overheating, expanding, or catching fire during use, resulting in six minor burns. Since the recall, 28 new consumer reports have been filed, including a report of a woman’s death.

In August 2024, a 75-year-old New Jersey woman caught fire and exploded while using a wireless charger. She suffered second- and third-degree burns and later died from her injuries, according to a Consumer Product Safety Commission recall. In February of this year, a 47-year-old woman was using a charger on a plane when it caught fire and exploded. She suffered first-degree burns.
