Xiaomi has expanded its recall of the 33W 20000mAh Power Bank globally, citing overheating risks, and urging users to check and claim refunds.
Xiaomi has announced a worldwide recall of its 33W 20000mAh Power Bank (Integrated Cable), following an earlier recall in China. The move targets model number PB2030MI, which was produced between August and September 2024. The company said the action is being taken to address potential safety hazards, with 146,891 units identified for recall and refund.
What’s the Reason for Recall
Xiaomi has said that a specific batch of the power banks used the 126280 version 2.0 battery cell, which could overheat in certain situations and create a risk of fire. While only a limited number of cases have been reported, the company opted for a broad recall to ensure user safety and reduce possible risks.
