Product Safety Warning Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Aeiusny 400W and 500W portable power stations because the internal lithium-ion battery can explode and ignite, posing a fire hazard and risk of serious injury or death. CPSC has received 24 reports of fires and explosions involving the defective power stations, including three reports of smoke inhalation and burn injuries requiring medical attention and 10 reports of property damage totaling approximately $450,000.
Shenzhen Yuanzhao E-Commerce Co., Ltd., of China, manufactures this product and has been unresponsive to CPSC requests for a recall or information about this product.
The defective power stations are yellow and black and “Aeiusny” is printed on the side. The wattage (400W or 500W) can be found either in the user manual or on the purchase receipt. The defective power stations were sold on Amazon from July 2016 through September 2022 for up to $420.
These products were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers to immediately dispose of the defective power stations following local hazardous waste disposal procedures.
Note: Do not throw this defective 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. Defective 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 defective lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact it ahead of time and ask whether it accepts defective lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.
CPSC has received 24 reports of fires and explosions involving the defective power stations, including three reports of smoke inhalation and burn injuries requiring medical attention and 10 reports of property damage totaling approximately $450,000.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
