Because Chinese device manufacturer IWalk remembers 27,500 portable power banks and can overheat and fire.
IWalk Magnetic Wireless Power Banks (prices from $20 to $57), sold on Amazon.com, iWalmall.com, and other e-commerce websites from July 2021 to March 2024, were recalled after the company reported 15 lithium-ion battery catch fires, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
A charger that is magnetically attached to a smartphone and powers other devices has lithium-ion batteries that can ignite, causing a risk of injury or death to consumers, the agency said.
Customers who purchase the recall will receive a full refund including iWalk Magnetic Wireless Power Banks (PowerGrip Slim with model number MXB008 and PowerGrip Mag with Model Numbers DBL6000M/DBL6000P), the company said on its recall website.

What should I do if I recall IWalk Power Bank?
Consumers must stop using the device and contact U2O Global for a refund.
- To get a refund: I took a photo of the recalled power bank, showed the model number and serial number, and emailed service@iwalk.net to U2O Global “Recall” to the power bank.
- Dispose of the device: Lithium-ion batteries have a high risk of fire and must be disposed of in a different way than other batteries. Do not place your device in the trash, recycle, or put it in a used battery box. You’d probably want to contact your city or county public works department about local hazardous waste disposal procedures. IWalk recommends contacting your local collection center office to ask if you would like to recall lithium-ion batteries.
