  1. Hurt, care not known

    Made Aug 24, 2022, sent to the company Aug 26, 2022, published by CPSC Sep 12, 2022

    The product, in the report: Harbor Freight Armstrong Power Bank 10,000 mAh (37Whr). White, 4.3” x 3.3” x 0.9”, weight 8.8oz, has 2 USB-A ports and 1 microUSB port.

    I was on a backpacking trip when the Battery Tank I had brought with me caught fire. I was asleep in a 1-person tent at the time. I awoke to the fumes from the melted plastic and burning tent material. I was able to beat out the flames in the burning mosquito netting, which put the fire out. The fire damaged my Tent, it’s ground cloth, my Sleeping Bag, my Air Mattress, and melted plastic onto the arm of my merino Wool base layer. I credit the base layer with saving me from being burned. I breathed in fumes from the plastic; coughing quite a bit at the time. But by the next morning that had subsided.
