  1. No one hurt

    Made Aug 17, 2026, sent to the company Aug 20, 2026, published by CPSC Sep 4, 2026

    The product, in the report: INIU 10000mAh Power Bank model BI-B41, black with a blue paw logo.

    I have a INIU 10000mAh Power Bank model BI-B41 purchased from Amazon on 2022-07-10, so it was outside of the recall purchase window. Yesterday while charging my phone, I noticed that the battery pack was bulging in the middle and warm. I unplugged it and have left it outside in a fire safe area. No injuries occurred.

    The product, in the report: INIU for Magsafe Portable Charger, Small 10000mAh 20W PD Magnetic Power Bank, USB C in&Out Wireless Battery Pack Phone Charger Sold by: SimpleLife LLC on Amazon. Black. Model B1-B43 SN 000024

    My INIU power bank caught fire while charging this morning. Model B1-B43, SN000024, purchased on Feb. 22, 2025, on Amazon. It was charging on top of my standup desk at home. I was in the bathroom briefly and I heard my smoke detector go off. I walked out, and there was the power bank on fire on my desk. I put the fire out using the water stored in my [REDACTED] filter, but it stayed on fire. I knocked it to the ground because the wooden desk would soon go up in flames, and grabbed the bottom half of my [REDACTED] and through that water on the charger, which was now on my floating floorboards. It still was slightly on fire, so I scooped it up with a dustpan and brush onto the snow outside my sliding doors, right next to where the charger was on the floor.

    My standing desk is damaged, along with part of my floating floorboards, along with my [REDACTED] filters which snapped in the scuffle to put out the fire. Two of my fingers got burned.

    The product, in the report: INIU Portable Charger, Slimmest 10000mAh 5V/3A Power Bank, USB C in&Out High-Speed Charging Battery Pack, External Phone Powerbank Compatible with [REDACTED]

    Your product started smoking and caught on fire. And I got a recall through Amazon from your company saying there is a recall on your battery charger. But when I fill out the recall claim form. It says It was not purchased in the right time frame. But if you look in my Amazon receipt. It says Amazons resale. So I have no doubt it is part of the recall because like I said it caught on fire.
