No incident, no one hurt Made Jul 15, 2023, sent to the company Jul 18, 2023, published by CPSC Aug 1, 2023
The product, in the report: Black 5,000mAh power bank with type C 5V2A input. Output is USB & Type C 5V2A. Model: ETHFB5. It contains both CE and FE certifications.The battery is marked with a nonfunctioning QR code, Chinese characters, the numbers 115570, 3.7V, 2021E0531, 66365, a recycle symbol and a symbol indicating that it should not go in the rubbish bin.
Power bank was stored in my backpack in my living room at 76 degrees Fahrenheit. It had been used on a trip but was intact upon return. I was finishing unpacking my bag a few days later when I discovered that the cover was off of the device. Upon closer look I noticed that the battery appeared swollen and had dislodged the cover bursting open the device. There were no injuries but I am concerned that this is a fire risk.
