The affected models are the Baseus Magnetic Mini Wireless Fast Charge Power Bank 2022, 6000mAh 20W (model PPCXM06) and the Baseus Magnetic Wireless Charging Power Bank 6000mAh 20W (model PPCXW06). These products were sold on Amazon, AliExpress, and directly from Baseus between April 2022 and April 2024.
All affected power banks have the model numbers PPCXM06 and PPCXW06 on the front of the device. Only power banks with these model numbers are affected. If your Baseus power bank has a different model number on the front, it is not subject to this recall and you can safely continue to use it.
The power banks are being recalled due to the risk of overheating and posing a fire hazard. Baseus has received 39 reports of fires involving two models of power banks.
