Latest HAIARA Power Bank Recall Developments

November 2026

A November 4, 2026 review of CPSC recall information confirms the October 29 recall of approximately 11,000 HAIARA W5 PRO power banks. The agency warns that the lithium batteries can explode and ignite, potentially causing serious injury or death [1].

The CPSC notice identifies 600 fire and other thermal incident reports, including three burn-injury reports and nine property-damage reports. The affected products are black HAIARA W5 PRO power banks without a printed date code on the side.

Mitrytech’s recall instructions describe the full-refund process, including submitting a photograph showing the power bank marked “recalled” and confirming lawful disposal [2].

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advises that lithium-ion batteries should not be placed in household garbage or ordinary recycling bins because improper handling can cause fires. Consumers should follow local hazardous-waste disposal requirements [3].

October 2026

On October 29, 2026, CPSC announced the voluntary recall of HAIARA W5 PRO power banks sold exclusively through Amazon.com by Mitrytech. The agency identified the batteries’ potential to explode and ignite as the reason for the action.

The recalled devices were manufactured in China and sold from May 2025 through September 2026 for approximately $18 to $22. CPSC instructed consumers to stop using affected units immediately and contact Mitrytech for a full refund.

September 2026

On September 24, 2026, CPSC announced a separate recall of approximately 21,380 NEWDERY power banks because their lithium-ion batteries could explode or ignite. The recall followed nine reports of explosions or fires, including one burn injury and a serious property-damage incident [4].

The NEWDERY recall involved a different product and manufacturer. It provides broader safety context but does not establish that the two brands share an identical battery defect.

What Is the HAIARA Power Bank Recall?

The recall involves portable charging devices sold under the HAIARA brand by Huizhou Yancheng Trading Co., Ltd., doing business as Mitrytech, of China. These products contain rechargeable lithium batteries designed to supply portable electrical power.

CPSC announced the recall after Mitrytech received hundreds of reports involving fire or other thermal incidents. The agency determined that the batteries could explode and ignite, potentially causing injuries or property damage.

The recall covers approximately 11,000 HAIARA W5 PRO power banks without a printed date code on the side. Consumers should examine their devices and Amazon purchase records to determine whether they are affected.

Which HAIARA Power Banks Are Recalled?

CPSC identifies affected devices using their model, appearance, seller information, and absence of a date code. The recalled power banks have these characteristics:

• Brand: HAIARA
• Model: W5 PRO
• Color: Black
• Front marking: “20W”
• Side marking: “Model: W5 PRO”
• Date code: No YYYYMMDD date code printed on the side
• Seller: Mitrytech on Amazon.com
• Recall number: 27-056

The seller name Mitrytech and the HAIARA brand appear on Amazon purchase records. Consumers uncertain whether their device is included should contact the company before attempting to use it again.

What’s the Problem With HAIARA Power Banks?

The recalled HAIARA power banks contain lithium batteries that can explode and ignite. CPSC identifies the malfunction as a serious fire and burn hazard capable of causing injuries or death.

Lithium-ion batteries store electrical energy inside compact rechargeable cells. Internal failures can cause excessive heating and, in some circumstances, a process called thermal runaway, during which heat and flammable gases may be released.

A battery failure can occur rapidly, creating flames or ejecting hot materials. CPSC has not identified one specific internal failure mechanism responsible for every HAIARA incident, so individual failures require separate investigation.

How Many HAIARA Power Bank Incidents Have Been Reported?

CPSC reports that Mitrytech received 600 reports involving fires and other thermal incidents. These reports included three burn injuries and nine instances of property damage.

The agency has not published detailed medical information concerning the reported burns or disclosed the total monetary value of the property damage.

The 600 reports should not be interpreted as 600 confirmed fires or injuries. The total includes multiple types of thermal incidents, with injury and property-damage reports separately identified.

What Injuries Can a Defective Power Bank Cause?

A lithium-battery explosion or fire can expose consumers to intense heat, flames, smoke, and hot battery materials. Injury severity depends on proximity to the device, duration of exposure, and the circumstances of the malfunction.

Potential injuries associated with battery fires include:

• First-, second-, or third-degree burns
• Burns affecting the hands, arms, legs, or torso
• Eye injuries from hot particles or battery materials
• Respiratory irritation or smoke-inhalation injuries
• Permanent scarring or disfigurement
• Other injuries sustained while escaping a fire

Serious burns may require hospitalization, surgery, wound treatment, or rehabilitation. However, CPSC has not specified the severity or medical treatment associated with the three reported HAIARA burn injuries.

Can Recalled HAIARA Power Banks Cause Property Damage?

CPSC confirms nine property-damage reports involving the recalled devices. A battery fire can potentially damage nearby electronics, furniture, clothing, or other combustible materials.

Power banks are frequently used near personal belongings and inside residential environments, where an unexpected fire may spread beyond the device. The CPSC notice does not disclose the specific locations or financial value of the reported HAIARA property losses.

Where Were the Recalled HAIARA Power Banks Sold?

The affected power banks were sold exclusively on Amazon.com by Mitrytech between May 2025 and September 2026. CPSC reports that they typically cost between $18 and $22.

The products were manufactured in China and sold by Huizhou Yancheng Trading Co., Ltd., doing business as Mitrytech. Consumers can use their Amazon order history and the markings on the device to help identify affected units.

What Should Consumers Do With Recalled HAIARA Power Banks?

CPSC instructs consumers to stop using recalled power banks immediately. Affected devices should not be charged or operated while consumers arrange the recall remedy.

Lithium-ion batteries and devices containing them should not be discarded in household garbage or ordinary recycling bins. EPA recommends appropriate battery recycling or household hazardous-waste handling to reduce fire risks.

Consumers should contact their local hazardous-waste program to determine how recalled or defective lithium-battery devices can be accepted. Devices that are hot, swollen, leaking, or otherwise damaged require particular caution.

How Can Consumers Get a HAIARA Power Bank Refund?

Mitrytech is offering a full refund to consumers with recalled HAIARA W5 PRO power banks. The CPSC recall notice describes the following requirements:

1. Stop using the affected power bank immediately.
2. Identify the recalled device using the model and missing date code.
3. Write “recalled” on the power bank using a permanent marker, when safe to do so.
4. Submit a photograph of the marked device to Mitrytech.
5. Confirm that the power bank has been disposed of in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

Consumers should follow the company’s instructions and applicable disposal requirements before completing the refund request.

The recall remedy provides a refund of the purchase price. Individuals who experienced injuries or property damage may have additional legal questions beyond the refund process.

Could Mitrytech or Another Company Be Liable?

Product-liability law may permit injured consumers to seek compensation when evidence establishes that a defective or unreasonably dangerous product caused harm. Depending on state law, potential claims may involve defective design, manufacturing defects, inadequate warnings, negligence, or breach of warranty.

Potential defendants can include manufacturers, importers, distributors, retailers, or other parties involved in selling the product. Claims involving online marketplaces depend on applicable law and the circumstances of the transaction.

A recall documents an identified product safety concern but does not automatically establish legal liability. An individual claim requires evidence supporting the applicable elements, including causation and damages.

Who May Be Affected by the HAIARA Recall?

Consumers who suffered burns or other injuries involving recalled HAIARA W5 PRO power banks may have grounds for an individualized legal evaluation. Individuals who sustained property damage may also have potential claims.

Relevant circumstances include how the device was being used, its condition before the incident, charging equipment, and available medical or property-damage documentation.

Do I Qualify for a HAIARA Power Bank Lawsuit?

The following questions may help determine whether an incident warrants further legal review:

• Did you purchase or use a recalled HAIARA W5 PRO power bank sold by Mitrytech?
• Did the device explode, ignite, overheat, or experience another thermal incident?
• Did the incident cause burns, other injuries, or property damage?
• Do you have purchase records, photographs, medical records, or other documentation involving the device?

Answering yes does not establish eligibility or guarantee compensation. An attorney can evaluate the product, incident circumstances, injuries, property damage, applicable law, and filing deadlines.

Evidence to Preserve After a Power Bank Fire

Documentation may help establish whether a recalled battery caused injuries or property damage. Consumers should prioritize safety and avoid handling a power bank that remains hot, damaged, or unstable.

• Amazon purchase confirmations and seller information
• Photographs showing the device and identifying markings
• Photographs of damaged property or the incident location
• Medical records and treatment expenses
• Fire department or emergency response reports
• Communications with Mitrytech regarding the recall
• Witness statements and insurance documentation

Consumers should not retain or transport a hazardous battery contrary to official safety instructions. Photographs and records may preserve important information without requiring continued possession of an unsafe device.

What Compensation May Be Available?

Potential damages in a qualifying product-liability case depend on the injuries, property losses, evidence, and applicable law. Recoverable losses may include medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost income, pain and suffering, property damage, and other legally recognized damages.

Severe injuries may require additional medical treatment or create lasting physical limitations. Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
