    This recall applies only to the Anker PowerCore 10000 power bank (Model: A1263) manufactured between January 1st, 2016 - October 30th, 2019 in black, blue, red and white, sold in the United States between June 1st, 2016, and December 31st, 2022.

    So if I bought mine on Amazon.ca in Canada it won’t burn my house down?

      They’ve probably just crunched the numbers and determined the cost of a recall in Canada was greater than the cost of law suits when your house does burn down

    I have one of these but stopped using it because it was bulging enough to bend the case.

    Only problem is I can’t do the recall because they need the serial number which is on a piece of paper I threw away a decade ago.

      Probably for the best that you can’t exchange it for another Anker battery. They’ve been recalling a bunch of their products lately.
