Recall details: MagSafe battery chargers recall
Flaunt is recalling roughly 1,400 MagSafe-compatible power banks, identified as model E33A. The units were sold online at flauntcases.com from May 2024 through April 2025 for about $65. The recall covers the specified model number and sale period only; if your unit does not match the model and markings below, it is not part of this recall.
What owners should do now
Stop using any Flaunt MagSafe power bank that you believe may be part of this recall. Do not charge the unit, do not attempt to open or repair it, and do not place it near flammable materials. Keep the device in a cool, well-ventilated area away from children and pets while you arrange a return.
Flaunt is offering a full refund for recalled units. Visit flauntcases.com for the company’s return instructions and follow any packaging and shipping guidance the seller provides. If the device shows signs of damage, swelling or has recently emitted smoke, contact Flaunt for special handling directions before attempting to move or ship it.
How to identify affected Flaunt power banks
Check these quick visual markers to confirm if your power bank is included in the recall:
- Model number: E33A (this is the key identifier).
- Brand engraving: the word “FLAUNT” is engraved on the front right side of the unit.
- Button: a small circular button is located on the bottom center of the front face.
- Colors: the recalled power banks were sold in melon, black, lavender and white.
- Sale window: offered online from May 2024 through April 2025.
If your unit matches these details, cease use and follow the refund and return steps above.
Reported incidents and risks
The recall follows five reports to the CPSC that the power banks overheated and caught fire. Among those reports were two burn injuries — one to a person’s hand and one to a person’s arm — and four reports of minor property damage, according to the commission. The CPSC cautioned: “The lithium-ion battery in the recalled power banks (chargers) can overheat and ignite, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards.”
Because lithium-ion batteries can ignite suddenly and burn at high temperatures, the CPSC and the seller stress that affected units should be removed from use immediately and handled with care until returned or safely disposed of through approved channels.
Safe disposal and CPSC guidance
Do not put recalled lithium-ion power banks in household trash, curbside recycling, or in used battery collection boxes at retail stores. The CPSC explains that recalled lithium-ion batteries require special handling because they pose a fire risk that typical recycling and trash systems are not equipped to manage.
If Flaunt provides prepaid return shipping or special packaging for the recall, use that option. If you do not receive clear return-shipping instructions from the seller, contact your local hazardous-waste authority or municipality to locate an approved drop-off site for lithium-ion batteries. If the battery is swollen, smoking, or damaged, seek guidance from the seller or local fire or hazardous-materials officials before transporting it.
What comes next
The CPSC will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates if more incidents are reported or if additional models are identified. Consumers with affected units should follow return instructions promptly to reduce the risk of injury or property damage. Keep proof of purchase or order confirmation handy when requesting a refund.
