Anker announced that it is recalling model 321 Power Bank (PowerCore 5K, model number A1112). The reason for the recall was stated as a fire risk due to a manufacturing defect. Anker announced that this risk existed in a small number of products produced after March 2023, but that it would still recall all products.
The bottom of the affected model has the words “Anker 321 Power Bank (PowerCore 5K, Black), Model: A1112” written in white. If you have this model, Anker recommends that you stop using the product immediately. For recall, you can request a replacement 533 Power Bank by filling out a form containing your serial number.
When we checked the news while preparing it for publication, we saw that Anker did not officially sell the A1112 model in Turkey. However, if you have a product of this model purchased from abroad, it would be appropriate to contact Anker.
