Recently, Anker Innovations, a renowned company for its smartphone power banks, has been dealing with a couple of class-action lawsuits related to fire hazards associated with certain Anker power banks. These legal actions were filed against Fantasia Trading LLC and Power Mobile Life LLC, doing business as Anker Innovations. The lawsuits specifically target the PowerCore 10000 power banks, claiming them to be defective and posing a fire risk. In light of these lawsuits, it's crucial for Anker power bank owners to stay informed about the potential risks and necessary actions.
Two class-action suits claim that Anker power banks are a fire hazard
One of the lawsuits was filed by Jerry Light in California federal court, while another was filed by Christopher Hall in New York federal court. Both legal actions allege violations of state and federal consumer laws, attributing the fire hazard to the lithium-ion batteries within the power banks. The lawsuits highlight specific Anker power bank models, including the A1263 PowerCore 10000, A1257 Power Bank 10000, A1647 Power Bank 20000, A1652 MagGo Power Bank 10000, A1681 Zolo Power Bank 20000, and A1689 Zolo Power Bank 20000.
The lawsuits accuse Anker of marketing the power banks as safe despite the alleged defects, and the company's recall of 1.15 million Power Banks due to overheating concerns further adds to the gravity of the situation. As a responsible consumer, it's important to be aware of the risks associated with these power banks and take appropriate measures.
