More than 1,000 MagSafe battery chargers have been recalled over burn risks following reports of the power banks catching fire and causing burn injuries.
Flaunt is recalling about 1,400 MagSafe battery chargers due to the risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
“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,” the commission said.

There have been five reports of the power banks overheating and catching fire, including one report of a burn to a person’s hand and another report of a burn to someone’s arm. There have also been four reports of minor property damage.
Affected power banks have model number E33A.
“FLAUNT” is engraved on the front right side of the power bank and a small circular button is on the bottom center of the front side of the item.
The power banks were sold in melon, black, lavender and white. They were sold online at flauntcases.com from May 2024 to April 2025 for about $65.
Consumers are urged to stop using the recalled power banks immediately and contact Flaunt for a full refund.

“Do not throw this recalled power bank with lithium-ion battery 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,” the commission said.
