Anker Power Banks

Anker Innovations has called back Anker PowerCore 10000 power banks with model number A1263.

They were manufactured in China and sold online at Anker, Amazon, Newegg and Ebay from June 2016 through December 2022 for about $27.

According to the agency, the lithium-ion battery in the power bank can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.

The recall was initiated after Anker has received 19 reports of fires and explosions, including two reports of minor burn injuries not requiring medical attention. There were 11 more reports of property damage totaling over $60,700.

Consumers are asked to immediately stop using the recalled power banks and contact Anker Innovations for instructions on receiving a free replacement power bank.

Cordless Hedge Trimmers

Anderson, South Carolina-based TTI Outdoor Power Equipment Inc. has called back about 113,000 units of RYOBI 40V 24-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmers. In addition, about 15,000 units were sold in Canada.

The recall involves RYOBI 40V 24-Inch Cordless Hedge Trimmers with model numbers RY40620VNM, RY40602VNM and RY40602BTLVNM, and with serial numbers within ranges LT21091D180001 - LT22365D060025 and RG23125N250001 - RG24252D101110.

Manufactured in Vietnam, the hedge trimmers were sold at Home Depot and Direct Tools Factory Outlet stores across the United States and online from March 2021 through January 2025 for between $90 and $160.

The CPSC noted that the hedge trimmer blade can unexpectedly activate after pressing just the safety or trigger control individually rather than engaging the safety and trigger controls simultaneously. This could cause a laceration hazard.

The firm has received 27 reports of the blade activating after pressing just one of the controls, including 16 reports of injuries that resulted in minor and some severe lacerations.

Consumers are required to return the recalled trimmer to TTI Outdoor Power Equipment in order to receive a free replacement trimmer

Manufactured in Czech Republic, the highchairs were sold at Nordstrom and other specialty stores nationwide and online at www.bugaboo.com and www.Amazon.com from May 2023 through April 2025 for about $380.

According to the agency, theere is a fall hazard and risk of serious injury or death to babies because the legs of the chair can detach from the frame if the screws connecting the legs are not properly tightened during assembly.

Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled highchairs and contact Bugaboo to receive a free repair kit.
