The CPSC and Lenovo have recalled Lenovo USB-C Laptop Power Banks

since internal screws tend to loosen and create shortcircuits with overheating and fire hazards.


About 2,850 of these heavy duty lithium batteries were sold in the US and about 510 were sold in Canada at lenovo.com, newegg.com, cdw.com, insight.com, connection.com, shi.com, Softchoice.com, eBay.com and staples.com.


Immediately stop using these powerbanks and contact Lenovo at 866-989-0515 or via email at [email protected] for a free replacement and instructions regarding safe disposal of these powerbanks.
