The product, in the report: POWER BANK Model: SP109 Cellphone portable charger Input: MUCRO USB 5V/550mA Output: 5V/1000 mA Battery Capacity: 2200mAh UL listed MH61674
I received a gift related to my subscription to Wired magazine. I appreciate their gesture, Unfortunately, it failed dramatically.
The item is a phone charger battery. Or portable phone charger.
Charging it initially, overnight, I found the connecting cable (to a standard USB wall charger) charred and some melting on the cellphone portable charger case.
The label says:

No one hurt Made Apr 15, 2015, sent to the company Apr 23, 2015, published by CPSC May 14, 2015
The product, in the report: Small, rectangular white portable power source. Says “POWER BANK”
A portable battery charger branded “Power Bank” spontaneously exploded approximately 2 weeks after being charged. After being charged in a regular 110-volt home outlet, it was not plugged in again nor used to provide power to other devices before the explosion. (It would typically be used as a way of charging a cell phone or other small electronic device.)
We traveled overseas with the device but didn’t end up needing to use it. Hours after arriving back in the US it spontaneously exploded on a counter top. It was not plugged in to anything at the time it exploded. The fire was quickly contained but smoke and other damage occurred. I am horrified to think what would have happened if the device had exploded in my carry-on during the flight, or while I was carrying it in my backpack.
I immediately alerted the accounting firm of BDO about the incident since they had provided it as a gift. They put me in touch with Office Depot, the distributor of the device, and another group called [REDACTED] who sourced the devices for Office Depot. All parties have claimed that they have had no other reported incidents with the device in question but I am pressing BDO to issue an alert to all of the recipients of the device.
