NEWDERY Recalls ZHX-PB22 Power Banks After Fire and Burn Reports
The CPSC recalled about 21,380 NEWDERY ZHX-PB22 power banks due to fire and explosion risks from their lithium-ion cells. The action follows nine incident reports, including one burn injury and a fire that caused roughly $2 million in property damage. Owners should stop using the units and contact NEWDERY for refund and disposal instructions.
The recall covers roughly 21,380 black NEWDERY ZHX-PB22 power banks with yellow cables. The model number appears on the back, while the brand name is engraved on the front. They were sold through Amazon between October 2023 and November 2024, priced from $27 to $50.
Federal regulators linked nine reports of these units exploding or igniting to the recall. Those incidents included one burn injury and a fire that reportedly caused about $2 million in property damage. The CPSC had previously urged consumers to stop using the model in June 2025, but a formal recall was not issued then.
The recall may affect Amazon shoppers who bought these power banks, especially those using them for travel or daily charging. Because lithium-ion failures can cause fires, households, workplaces, and transportation settings could face safety risks. The refund and disposal process may create inconvenience, while hazardous-waste guidance could shape how consumers handle the units. The broader market may see renewed attention to battery certification and safer charging habits.
