LAS VEGAS — The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a nationwide recall of the Haiara W‑5 Pro power bank after receiving 600 reports of fires and heat‑related incidents. The portable charger, which was listed on Amazon from May 2025 through September 2026 at prices ranging from $18 to $22, has been found to contain a lithium‑ion battery that can explode and ignite.
Recall details and how to return the product
The recall applies specifically to units that lack a date code printed on the side of the device. Consumers who own a Haiara W‑5 Pro power bank are instructed to stop using it immediately. To obtain a refund, owners must contact the manufacturer, provide a photograph showing the “recalled” label on the device, and confirm that they have disposed of the battery safely.
For step‑by‑step instructions, consumers can visit the company’s recall page at haiara.net/recalls. The site offers a downloadable form and a phone number for those who prefer direct assistance.
Scope of the problem
According to the CPSC, the 600 reports include three incidents where users suffered burn injuries and nine incidents that resulted in property damage. While the majority of complaints involved only smoke or minor overheating, the agency emphasizes that the risk of a full‑scale explosion warrants a precautionary recall.
Local retailers in the Las Vegas area have already removed the product from their shelves, and Amazon has flagged the listing as unavailable. The recall is not limited to Nevada; it covers every unit sold across the United States during the specified time frame.
Why the recall matters for Nevada families
Power banks are a common convenience for families, students, and workers who need reliable charging on the go. A malfunctioning battery not only threatens personal safety but also undermines the trust that consumers place in everyday technology. By acting quickly, the CPSC aims to protect households from potential harm and to reinforce the importance of product safety standards.
Parents are encouraged to check any charging devices in their homes, especially those purchased online, and to verify that they have not been affected by this recall. The swift response from both federal regulators and the manufacturer demonstrates a commitment to safeguarding consumers, a principle that aligns with the values of responsible stewardship and family protection.
What to do next
If you purchased the Haiara W‑5 Pro power bank on Amazon or through another retailer, locate the device and look for a missing date code on the side. If the code is absent, follow the instructions on the recall website to arrange a refund. Do not attempt to repair or reuse the battery, as doing so could increase the risk of fire.
For additional information, you may contact the CPSC directly at 1‑800‑4‑CPSC‑555 or visit their website at cpsc.gov. Staying informed and acting promptly can help keep Nevada families safe from unnecessary hazards.
