Mitrytech has recalled 11,000 HAIARA W5 PRO power banks due to fire and burn risks posed by their lithium batteries. Households that purchased these chargers on Amazon between May 2025 and September 2026 are eligible for a refund.
Why it matters
The lithium batteries in these power banks can overheat, explode, and catch fire, creating a significant safety risk for users. Owners should stop using these devices immediately to avoid potential burn injuries or property damage.
The recall involves 11,000 HAIARA W5 PRO power banks, which were sold for between $18 and $22. There have been 600 reports of fires or overheating, resulting in three burn injuries and nine instances of property damage.
The players
Mitrytech
The manufacturer responsible for the recalled HAIARA W5 PRO power bank product line.
Consumer Product Safety Commission
The federal agency responsible for issuing safety recalls and protecting consumers from dangerous products.
Amazon
The online marketplace platform where the recalled power banks were sold to consumers.
The details
The affected power banks feature '20W' on the front and 'Model: W5 PRO' on the side. To confirm if a unit is included in the recall, check the side of the device; affected units lack an eight-digit date code. Customers can obtain a refund by submitting a photograph of their power bank clearly marked with the word 'recalled' to the manufacturer.
Timeline
Sales of the power banks began on Amazon in May 2025.
Sales of the power banks ended on Amazon in September 2026.
The CPSC announced the official recall on October 29, 2026.
Money Landscape
This action fits into the broader regulatory oversight governed by the Consumer Product Safety Act. Such recalls occur periodically when products fail to meet established safety standards, forcing manufacturers to halt sales and provide restitution to affected households.
If you own a HAIARA W5 PRO power bank, stop using it immediately and photograph the device with the word 'recalled' written on it to initiate your refund request. Consult a tax professional if you need advice on how to document property loss associated with any past damage caused by these units.
The takeaway
Product recalls like this one serve as a reminder to monitor your household inventory for safety notices related to inexpensive consumer electronics. Check your purchase history on Amazon for any HAIARA W5 PRO devices bought between May 2025 and September 2026 to see if you are impacted.
