Consumers are urged by Product Safety Australia, an arm of the ACCC, to discontinue use of a power bank sold at Officeworks after it was recalled across Australia over fire concerns.
The recall concerns the product Comsol 10000mAh 20W USB-A & USB-C magnetic wireless power bank, which is compatible with Apple’s MagSafe cases for iPhone 12, 13, and 14 models.
“The power bank may short circuit, overheat and catch fire. There is a risk of a serious burn injury and/or property damage if the battery overheats and catches fire.”
Anyone using the power bank has been urged to stop use immediately, and return it to the nearest Officeworks for a full refund.
This only affects power banks with Comsol part code ‘WMPB10A’ printed on the product/package, or ‘COWMPB10A’ on the receipt.
These power banks were sold across the country between March 7th and August 18th this year.
