Which ones does it cover?
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Yiisonger power banks, model KT-D007, because they pose a risk of serious injury and death. The lithium-ion battery in the defective power banks can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers. CPSC has received 79 reports of the defective power banks exploding, igniting and swelling, including one report of a serious fire resulting in $15 million in property damage. The private labeler, Yiisonger, has been unresponsive to CPSC requests for information about this product or a recall. The defective power banks were sold in black, blue, misty blue, purple and white. The brand name “Yiisonger” is printed on the front and the model number “KT-D007” is printed on the side. About 93,000 defective power banks were sold on Amazon.com from April 2022 through February 2025 for between $22 and $40. The defective power banks were manufactured in China. CPSC urges consumers to immediately dispose of the defective power banks following local hazardous waste disposal procedures. Note: Do not throw this defective lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Defective lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this defective lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact them ahead of time and ask whether they accept defective lithium-ion batteries. If they don’t, contact your municipality for further guidance.
