China-based INIU is recalling roughly 210,000 units of power banks after determining that the lithium-ion batteries in these products can overheat and ignite, “posing fire and burn hazards to consumers,” the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said in a Dec. 5 statement.

“This recall involves INIU 10,000mAh portable power banks, model BI-B41. The recalled power banks have a black or blue case and the INIU logo and a paw-print LED light are on the front,” CPSC said.
