Well, better to be recalled instead of buying something off brand and replacing it every three months like I did with other batteries and cords before I caught on to those shifty Amazon scammy retailers.

…I mean yes it’d be great if nothing was recalled at all, but uhhhh, I ain’t gonna hold this one against them.

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.

If the serial number is worn off or not visible, please contact Anker for guidance.

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

Put in for a replacement power pack on Friday. Just had to enter the order number from Amazon, and upload two pictures of the power pack including the model and serial number. Bought the recalled one in 2018, and it was still working fine when I charged and used it last month. Oh well, I'll drop it off for recycle next trip to the county waste facility.

I just recycled my two units. One wasn't technically part of the recall but out of caution I still recycled it.
