According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the power banks can overheat, posing a fire hazard. The recall involves model numbers E2037 and E2038. Model E2037 has one USB-A port and one USB-C port and has one of the following date codes (YYWW): 2318, 2319, 2322. Model E2038 has two USB-A ports and one USB-C port and has one of the following date codes (YYWW): 2313, 2316, 2318, 2319. The model number and date codes are printed on the power banks.

It is well known that lithium-ion batteries are prone to failure, resulting in the phenomenon known as thermal runaway. Thermal runaway refers to a chemical reaction where a repeating cycle of excessive heat causes more and more heat until an explosion occurs. When this happens, the lithium-ion, or li-ion, batteries can catch on fire or explode. This can result in first-, second-, or third-degree burn injuries to anyone nearby. Over the past three years, Johnson//Becker lawyers have successfully tried multiple lithium-ion battery cases.
The CPSC warns consumers to stop using the power banks immediately. The VARMFRONT Power Banks were sold at IKEA stores nationwide and online at IKEA.com from July 2023 through March 2024 for between $17 and $30.
