  1. No one hurt

    Made Mar 11, 2026, sent to the company Mar 16, 2026, published by CPSC Mar 30, 2026

    The product, in the report: The product is a Type S Jump Starter and Portable Power Bank with an 8600mAh internal lithiumion battery. The device is designed to jumpstart a vehicle battery and also function as a portable power bank for charging small electronics. The unit is a handheld, rectangular portable device, approximately the size of a small paperback book. It has a black plastic housing with molded edges and contains an internal rechargeable lithiumion battery. The jump starter includes builtin battery terminals/clamps for connecting to a vehicle battery and USB output ports for use as a power bank. The device is intended for automotive emergency use, specifically jumpstarting a car when the vehicle battery is discharged. The product is marketed as portable and consumeruse automotive equipment. Exact dimensions and weight are unknown. No external modifications were made to the product, and it was used as designed and intended by the manufacturer.

    While using the Type S 8600mAh jump starter for its intended purpose (jumpstarting a vehicle), the device began smoking and melting. At the time of the incident:

    The device was NOT connected to a charger The device was operating only on its internal battery The device had been previously charged on an earlier date The jump starter was being used normally according to instructions

    Immediately after initiating the jumpstart process, the unit rapidly overheated, produced visible smoke, and the plastic housing began to melt. The failure appeared sudden and internal, with no external damage prior to use. The device was immediately disconnected and moved to a safe location to prevent fire or injury.

    Injuries or Damage No personal injuries occurred. No property damage, however the incident posed a significant fire risk. The product itself is destroyed and no longer usable.

    Safety Concern This incident represents a serious safety hazard, as the product failed catastrophically during normal, expected use. Smoking and melting of a lithiumion jump starter creates a high risk of fire, burns, or explosion, especially given that jump starters are often used near vehicles, fuel vapors, and people. The failure occurred without misuse, without charging, and without external power, suggesting a potential internal battery or protection circuit failure.

    Actions Taken Device was immediately removed from service Device is being kept isolated to prevent possible reignition Device will be disposed of as hazardous battery waste Incident is being reported to warn others and support potential investigation or recall

    Additional Information The device was being used exactly as intended by the manufacturer. The failure occurred under highcurrent demand typical of jumpstarting a vehicle. There were no visible warnings or indicators prior to the failure. This type of failure could reasonably cause serious injury or fire if it occurred indoors, in a garage, or near flammable materials.
