Product Safety Warning Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using HALO Bolt ACDC 58830 portable chargers manufactured in December 2019 or earlier, because they pose a risk of serious injury or death.
CPSC has received reports of the chargers catching fire including one report of burn injuries and several reports of property damage. The age of the products, which were manufactured before 2019, can make them more susceptible to lithium-ion battery fires and thermal events.
Consumers should immediately stop using the HALO Bolt ACDC 58830 portable chargers manufactured in or prior to December 2019 and dispose of them in accordance with state and local ordinances.
The importer has refused to conduct a recall.
The portable chargers come in a variety of colors and can be used to jump start a vehicle or
charge electronic devices. The brand name “HALO” is printed on the top and the model number: “BOLT ACDC 58830” is located on a label on the back of the unit. The year and week of manufacturing is printed on the bottom right of the label immediately following the country of origin. The first two digits represent the year and the next two digits represent the week of manufacturing. Products manufactured in December 2019 or earlier are affected and begin with the following year codes: 16, 17, 18, 19. The portable chargers were sold at Best Buy and retail stores nationwide and online including at QVC.com, Amazon.com, BestBuy.com for about $120 before discounts.
The portable chargers were manufactured in China.
Note: Do not throw this 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.

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.
