A recall has been issued for three different phone chargers from Towsleys: the 3-in-1 Qi wireless chargers, power banks, and travel wall chargers, according to a notice issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) on Nov. 25. Towsleys has received four incident reports of these chargers and power banks overheating, posing a potential fire hazard. Two of the four reports did result in fires, with one user reporting $6,000 worth of property damage. Luckily, there are no known injuries so far. The recall affects around 1,500 products “distributed to employees through a corporate redemption program,” the CPSC notes. Corporate employees were able to use credits to redeem merchandise through Acuity Merch from Sept. 2019 to April 2020, which included these Towsleys chargers. The chargers were manufactured by Shenzhen Huani Electronics Co., Ltd in China. According to the CPSC announcement, anyone with one of these phone chargers should stop using it and contact Towsleys for instructions on how to properly dispose of the recalled items. Consumers will also receive a credit from Towsleys for a free replacement charger. But your cell phone charger isn’t the only thing you need to watch out for these days.
