Wireless Magnetic Charger Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled the Isla Rae Magnetic Wireless Charger on January 8, 2026, citing a fire and burn hazard. Health Canada issued a paired recall notice for the same charger on December 15, 2025. The charger, sold under model RM5PBM in the U.S., can overheat or explode during use, according to both notices. This poses a fire and burn hazard to anyone holding or charging it. Consumers in the United States and Canada should stop using the charger and register for a refund. Neither CPSC nor Health Canada has listed the recall as closed, completed, or terminated.

Latest Isla Rae Magnetic Wireless Chargers Recall Updates

January 8, 2026: CPSC Recalls the Isla Rae Charger

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on January 8, 2026, covering the Isla Rae Magnetic Wireless Charger. The agency said the charger can explode or overheat during use, posing a fire and burn hazard[1]. Hello to Green imported the devices, and TJX sold them nationwide at Marshalls and T.J. Maxx. About 13,200 units were sold, covering model RM5PBM in white, pink, and purple.

December 15, 2025: Health Canada Publishes a Paired Recall Notice

On December 15, 2025, Health Canada published its own paired notice for the same charger. The notice describes it as prone to overheating and posing fire and burn hazards[2]. The agency reported about 7,000 units sold in Canada. The company logged five mild-burn incident reports in Canada, current to November 26, 2025. The notice also lists five model and color codes with a sale window ending in April 2025.

Which Wireless Magnetic Chargers Are Affected?

The recall covers Isla Rae Magnetic Wireless Chargers sold under several model numbers in the United States and Canada:

• United States: model RM5PBM chargers, sold in white, pink, or purple, all covered by this recall
• Canada: models RM5PBMPW (white), RM5PBMCG (gold), RM5PBMDP (pink), RM5PBMSL (lavender), and RM5PBMBK (black)

Hello to Green imported the chargers under its Press Play Products brand name. Health Canada’s notice separately names HTG Brands LLC as the manufacturer. TJX sold them at Marshalls and T.J. Maxx stores nationwide from June 2024 through November 2025, at about $15 each. Canadian sales ran from June 2024 through April 2025. Both versions share the same 15-watt, MagSafe-compatible design.

Why Were the Wireless Magnetic Chargers Recalled?

The Isla Rae Magnetic Wireless Charger was recalled because it can explode while in use. This poses a fire and burn hazard, per the CPSC notice. Health Canada’s paired notice describes the same defect as the charger’s tendency to overheat. CPSC’s press release, issued the day of the recall announcement, repeated the same hazard description[3]. The charger uses a magnetic design that holds a phone in place while it charges wirelessly. Neither notice names a specific cause inside the charger. Both describe only the resulting fire and burn hazard, not how or why it starts. Both agencies advise owners to stop using the charger. Owners should follow the recall’s refund process rather than wait for more information about the cause.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC’s recall notice reports no incidents or injuries in the United States as of the recall announcement. Health Canada’s paired notice states that the manufacturer logged five mild-burn reports in Canada as of November 26, 2025. Both figures reflect only the reports each agency had received when its own notice was issued. These reports are not proof that the charger caused every injury described. No reports of fire damage or hospitalization appear in either notice. Health Canada directs consumers to report any further injury through its Consumer Product Incident Report Form. The form is posted on the agency’s official website. Neither notice reports any deaths connected to the charger.

What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers who own a recalled Isla Rae Magnetic Wireless Charger should take the following steps:

1. Stop using the charger right away and unplug it from any power source to avoid the risk of overheating or fire.
2. Register for a full refund online at recallrtr.com/powerbank, the website CPSC listed for United States buyers of the charger.
3. Call TJX toll-free at 888-256-1564, weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time, or email powerbank@realtimeresults.net with questions.
4. In Canada, return the charger to any HomeSense, Winners, or Marshalls store, or call TJX Canada toll-free at 1-800-646-9466.
5. Do not throw the charger away in household trash, and take it to a local household hazardous waste center instead.

Are Hello to Green and HTG Brands LLC the Same Company?

Were Any Injuries Linked to the Isla Rae Charger Recall?

Yes, injuries were linked to the Isla Rae Charger recall, but only in Canada: Health Canada counted five mild-burn reports, while the US notice listed none, even though the US accounted for roughly two-thirds of all units sold. Anyone hurt can describe what happened to the maker or their regulator.

TJX Canada’s recall line, 1-800-646-9466, takes calls from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday, for questions about the Isla Rae charger recall. Health Canada’s notice lists this Mississauga, Ontario-based company as the contact for Canadian consumers.

Does the Recall Cover Chargers Sold in Canada Too?

Who Owns Marshalls and T.J. Maxx?

The TJX Companies Inc. owns Marshalls and T.J. Maxx, the two retail chains that sold the recalled Isla Rae charger in the United States. The same company also owns HomeSense and Winners, which handle recall returns in Canada.
