iStore's 5,000mAh magnetic power bank recalled over fire risk
Heads up if you own an iStore 5,000mAh Magnetic Wireless Power Bank (model IST-09991/W05)—these have just been recalled because of a risk they could overheat and catch fire.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission says there were three cases where these power banks exploded while charging, causing minor burns and about $15,000 in property damage.
They were sold from February 2023 to May 2025 for $46-$65 online and at airport vending machines.
How to get a refund
If you've got one of these power banks, stop using it right away.
To claim your refund, email photos to recall@istore.co—one with "recalled" written on the device and another showing the model number. A receipt helps but isn't required.
Look for the iStore logo on the front and a USB-C port if you're not sure which model you have.
