April 16, 2026: CPSC Reannounces Recall After a Fatality
The CPSC and Casely reannounced the recall of about 429,200 Casely Power Pod units, model E33A. The reannouncement is recall no. 26-418 [1].
The notice cites 28 more consumer reports since April 2025. They include one fatality and one airplane fire. The CPSC says consumers should stop using the recalled power banks and contact Casely for a free replacement.
May 9, 2025: Class Action Filed Against Casely
Ellery Mitchell and Dewayne Newton filed a class action complaint against Casely Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, Case 1:25-cv-02613 [2].
They allege the Power Pod is defective because its lithium-ion battery can overheat and catch fire. These are allegations, and Casely has not been found liable.
April 17, 2025: CPSC and Casely Announce Recall
The CPSC and Casely announced recall no. 25-227 of about 429,200 Casely Power Pods, model E33A, on April 17, 2025 [3].
The notice cites 51 consumer reports of overheating, expanding or fire. It says the lithium-ion battery can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards.
What Is the Casely Power Pod?
According to the CPSC 2025 notice, the Casely Power Pod is a 5000mAh portable MagSafe wireless phone charger with model number E33A printed on the back. The word “Casely” is engraved on the front, according to People [4].
The charger holds a lithium-ion battery. The recall and the Mitchell complaint both concern that battery, which is the part said to overheat.
Who May Be Affected?
People who bought or used a Casely Power Pod with model number E33A may be affected. The model number is printed on the back of the pod.
The pods were sold online at getcasely.com, Amazon.com and other e-commerce websites from March 2022 through September 2024 for $30 to $70. The CPSC reports overheating, expanding or fire while charging phones, including burns.
The Mitchell complaint proposes a class of all persons in the United States who purchased model E33A. Whether you have a claim depends on your own facts, so an individual legal review is needed.
Reported Injuries or Damages
In the Mitchell complaint, plaintiffs allege the pods overheat and catch fire. Plaintiff Newton alleges his Power Pod overheated his phone and reduced its battery strength. Plaintiffs also allege economic loss.
CPSC reports are not proof of cause. The 2025 notice lists six minor burn injuries. The 2026 notice describes a 75-year-old New Jersey woman charging her phone with the power bank on her lap in August 2024.
The woman’s power bank caught fire and exploded. She suffered second and third degree burns and later died of complications. In February 2026, a 47-year-old woman suffered first degree burns in an airplane power bank fire.
Recall and Regulatory Background
The remedy is a free replacement through getcasely.com, and proof of purchase is not required. Casely also offers an optional $60 Casely gift card, according to the Casely recall FAQs [5].
A recall does not prove that Casely is liable. Do not put the recalled battery or device in the trash, general recycling or used battery recycling boxes. A household hazardous waste collection center may accept it, so call ahead.
Evidence to Preserve
Keep anything that shows what you bought, what happened and what it cost you:
- The Power Pod itself, plus any damaged phone or case
- Your order confirmation and Amazon or getcasely.com purchase records
- Photographs of the device, any fire damage and any burns
- Medical records and bills
- Your recall claim submission and any messages with Casely
- Names of anyone who saw what happened
Filing Deadlines
Filing deadlines come from state law. They vary with where you live and with when your injury or loss happened.
If the deadline passes, a burn or fire injury claim against Casely could be barred. Strong facts do not change that, so timing matters. Ask a lawyer promptly about the deadline that applies in your state.
