Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. Wireless power banks have been recalled for exploding and causing fires.
This time, it’s the ESR HaloLock wireless power banks distributed by Waymeet in Hong Kong. The power banks were sold online at Amazon, Home Depot’s website, and Esrtech.com from September 2023 to July 2025, according to a press release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission .
“The firm has received nine reports of the lithium-ion battery catching fire and exploding, resulting in property damage of about $20,000,” the CPSC said, though no injuries have been reported.
The power banks come in dark blue, light blue, gray, white, and black—all with five circular LED display lights on the side. The model numbers that have been recalled include 2G520, 2G505B, and 2G512B
