Casely Power Bank Recalled a Second Time in 2026
On April 16, 2026, the CPSC and Casely of Brooklyn, New York re-announced a recall for about 429,200 Casely Power Pods 5000mAh portable MagSafe wireless phone chargers. This was the second time Casely has been required to alert the public to this hazard. The power banks were first recalled in April 2025, but incidents continued to be reported after that recall was issued, including one that proved fatal.
According to the CPSC:
“The recalled lithium-ion battery in the power banks can overheat and ignite, posing risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards to consumers.”
Since the April 2025 recall was announced, Casely received 28 additional reports of the lithium-ion battery overheating, expanding, or catching fire. These new incidents included a fatality and a serious fire aboard a commercial airplane.
The reannouncement was necessary because the 2025 recall did not reach all consumers. That means hundreds of thousands of recalled Casely power banks may still be in use in homes across the country.
What Happened: A Fatality and a Fire at 30,000 Feet
In August 2024, a 75-year-old woman from New Jersey was charging her cell phone with the Casely power bank resting on her lap when the device caught fire and exploded. She suffered second- and third-degree burns and later died from complications related to those injuries.
In February 2026, a 47-year-old woman was using the same model aboard a commercial airplane when it caught fire and exploded, resulting in first-degree burns. A fire on an aircraft poses risks that go far beyond the victim — cabin fires at altitude have no escape route and limited suppression resources.
These 2 incidents were among the 28 new reports received after the April 2025 recall. Combined with the 51 reports that prompted the original recall, the CPSC has received a total of 79 incident reports tied to the Casely Power Bank (Model E33A).
Why Is the Casely Power Bank So Dangerous?
According to the CPSC, the lithium-ion battery inside the recalled power banks can overheat and ignite, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards. The Casely Power Pod is a wireless MagSafe charger designed to rest against the back of a phone during charging. This means the device is typically in direct contact with the user’s hands, lap, or body during use.
When a lithium-ion battery ignites in that position, it can cause severe burns before a person has time to react. This type of thermal event — known as thermal runaway — is difficult to extinguish and can quickly spread to nearby clothing or furniture. In the fatal incident reported to the CPSC, the victim suffered second- and third-degree burns across the area where the device was resting.
Which Products Are Recalled?
The recall covers the Casely Power Pods 5000mAh portable MagSafe wireless phone charger, model number E33A. The model number is printed on the back of the device. The word “Casely” is engraved on the front side of the plate on the right side of the device.
These power banks were sold online at getcasely.com, Amazon.com, and other e-commerce websites from March 2022 through September 2024 for between $30 and $70.
Previous 2025 Recall
In April 2025, the CPSC and Casely announced the first recall of the Casely Power Bank (Model E33A) after receiving 51 reports of the lithium-ion battery overheating, expanding, or catching fire. Six consumers suffered minor burn injuries at that time.
The 2025 recall covered the same 429,200 units and the same model number E33A. Because that recall did not reach all consumers, Casely and the CPSC took the unusual step of issuing a full reannouncement in April 2026. Reannounced recalls are uncommon and typically signal that the original recall response rate was insufficient.
What Should You Do?
Consumers should immediately stop using any Casely Power Pod with model number E33A and contact Casely for a free replacement. To request a replacement, visit getcasely.com/pages/2025-recall, fill out the online form, and submit two photographs: one showing the front of the device with the word “Recalled” and the current date written in permanent marker, and one showing the model number on the back.
Casely can be reached toll-free at 888-964-9331 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or by email at recall@getcasely.com.
Do not dispose of this device in regular trash or curbside recycling. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be taken to a municipal household hazardous waste collection facility. Consumers should contact their municipality for guidance on where to take the device.
