If you bought a HAIARA W5 PRO power bank from Amazon, check the side of the device before charging it again.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, announced a recall on October 29, 2026 involving about 11,000 HAIARA power banks.
The lithium battery inside the recalled power banks can explode or ignite, creating serious fire and burn hazards.
This is not just a precaution based on a theoretical defect. The seller has been made aware of 600 reports of fires and other thermal incidents, including three burn injuries and nine reports of property damage.
But there is one important detail:
Not every HAIARA W5 PRO power bank is included in this recall.
The recall applies to specified W5 PRO units that have no date code printed on the side.
How to check whether your HAIARA power bank is recalled
Start by looking at the device itself.
CPSC describes the recalled product as a black HAIARA power bank with:
- “20W” printed on the front
- “Model: W5 PRO” printed on the side
- No date code printed on the side
The date code, when present, uses the format:
YYYYMMDD
For example, a date code could look like:
20260315
The recall applies to the affected W5 PRO power banks where that type of date code is missing from the side.
Also check your Amazon order
The recalled power banks were sold on Amazon.com by Mitrytech.
CPSC says your purchase receipt should show:
- Brand: HAIARA
- Seller: Mitrytech
So if you have several power banks at home and aren’t sure where one came from, checking your Amazon order history can help confirm whether you purchased the product from the affected seller.
The recalled units were sold from approximately May 2025 through September 2026 for about $18 to $22.
Why is the HAIARA W5 PRO being recalled?
The issue involves the lithium battery inside the power bank.
CPSC says the battery can explode and ignite.
Mitrytech has been made aware of approximately:
- 600 fire and other thermal incidents
- 3 burn injuries
- 9 reports of property damage
That incident history makes this recall especially important compared with a recall where no product failures have yet been reported.
If your device matches the recalled product, don’t keep using it simply because yours has never overheated.
What should you do if your power bank is recalled?
CPSC’s instruction is straightforward:
Stop using the recalled power bank immediately.
Do not charge your phone with it again, recharge the power bank, or continue testing it to see whether it becomes hot.
Then contact the recall provider for instructions on receiving a full refund.
The recall contact email listed by CPSC is:
HAIARArecall@outlook.com
You’ll need a photo to get the refund
The refund process requires a specific step.
CPSC says consumers will be required to:
- Write “recalled” on the power bank with permanent marker.
- Take a photograph showing the marked product.
- Submit the required photo as instructed by the recall provider.
- Confirm that the recalled power bank was disposed of according to applicable laws and regulations.
Do not destroy or dispose of the power bank before reviewing the current recall instructions if doing so would prevent you from providing the photograph required for your refund.
Don’t throw a lithium power bank in your household trash
This part is especially important.
A lithium-ion power bank should not simply be dropped into household garbage or curbside recycling.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says lithium-ion batteries and devices containing them can cause fires if they are damaged during garbage collection, transportation, or recycling.
EPA recommends taking lithium-ion batteries or devices containing them to an appropriate:
- Battery recycling location
- Electronics recycling facility
- Participating retailer take-back program
- Household hazardous-waste collection site
Because this particular battery has been recalled for a fire hazard, check with the facility before bringing it in and tell them that the device contains a recalled lithium-ion battery.
Local requirements can vary.
What if the power bank is swollen, unusually hot, leaking, or damaged?
Don’t continue handling or charging a lithium-ion device that appears physically damaged or is behaving abnormally.
Warning signs can include:
- Unusual heat
- Swelling
- Smoke
- A strange odor
- Leaking
- Cracking or physical deformation
EPA advises consumers with damaged lithium-ion batteries to contact the battery or device manufacturer for specific handling information.
If there is an active fire or an immediate danger to people or property, move away from the hazard and call emergency services.
What if your W5 PRO has a date code?
This is where careful product identification matters.
CPSC’s October 29 recall specifically says the warning applies to W5 PRO power banks with no date code in YYYYMMDD format printed on the side.
So if your HAIARA W5 PRO clearly has a date code, do not automatically assume it is part of this particular recall based only on the brand and model.
Compare your device with the official CPSC photographs and recall description.
If you are still uncertain, contact the recall provider rather than guessing.
What if you bought another HAIARA model?
The same principle applies.
This recall should not be expanded to every HAIARA product.
The specific product identification is:
HAIARA → W5 PRO → 20W → sold by Mitrytech → no YYYYMMDD date code on the side.
If your device has another model number, use the CPSC recall database to determine whether a separate recall or warning applies.
Why checking old Amazon orders matters
A $20 power bank is easy to forget.
It may be sitting:
- In a kitchen drawer
- Inside a travel bag
- In a glove compartment
- In an emergency kit
- In a child’s backpack
- Next to a bed as a backup charger
Because the affected units were sold over more than a year, people may still have them even if they have not used them recently.
A quick Amazon-order search for “HAIARA” or “W5 PRO” can therefore be worthwhile.
Don’t give the recalled power bank to someone else
If you discover that you own the recalled product, don’t solve the problem by handing it to someone else.
Federal law prohibits the sale of products subject to a CPSC recall.
The practical solution is to stop using the device, follow the official refund instructions, and dispose of it safely.
The SavingQueen takeaway
If you bought a HAIARA power bank from Amazon, this is a recall where one quick side-panel check can tell you a lot.
Look for:
HAIARA → W5 PRO → “20W” → Seller Mitrytech → Date code?
If the W5 PRO has no YYYYMMDD date code printed on the side and matches the recalled product:
Stop using → Do not recharge → Write “recalled” on the unit → Take the required photo → Request full refund → Dispose of the lithium battery/device through an appropriate local program.
With 600 reported fire or thermal incidents associated with the recalled products, this is not a recall to leave sitting in an inbox for later.
Check the device before plugging it in again.
