Note: Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wireless portable power bank and go to the firm’s website to participate in the recall. Consumers will be asked to submit two photographs via email to recall@istore.co. The first photograph should be the front of the power bank with the word “Recalled” and the date written on it with permanent marker. The second photograph should include the model number, which is located on the back of the power bank. A purchase receipt will be requested but will not be required to participate in the recall. Consumers should immediately dispose of the power banks in accordance with local and state hazardous waste disposal regulations.
