The Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning consumers to stop using HAIARA power banks immediately.[^1] The agency has received 600 reports of fire, explosion or thermal incidents involving them.[^2] The reports include burns and property damage.[^3]

The lithium batteries in the power banks can explode and ignite.[^4]

## Why it is a warning and not a recall

The manufacturer did not respond to the agency's requests for a recall.[^5] Shenzhen Joway Power Supply Co., Ltd. made the power banks in China.[^6]

A warning carries no refund or replacement from the maker. It tells owners to stop.

## The scale

About 210,000 units are covered.[^7] At 600 reports, that is roughly one report for every 350 units sold.

They were sold online at Amazon.com and Newegg.com from January 2025 through October 2026.[^8]

## Which ones

The warning applies to HAIARA model W5 PRO power banks that have no date code on the side.[^9]

## What to do with one

Owners must dispose of the power banks under local hazardous waste procedures.[^10]
