One of the most popular power banks sold at IKEA stores nationwide has recently been recalled due to safety concerns. Product Safety Australia issued the recall for the Varmfront power banks, citing a manufacturing flaw that could cause the product to overheat and potentially melt while in use. This poses a serious risk of injury from burns or property damage from fire.
According to the product safety watchdog, the affected power banks have the potential to overheat during use, which could lead to serious consequences. In light of this, consumers are advised to immediately stop using the product. The recall applies to power banks purchased between March 1 and April 1, both in-store and online.
To identify whether their power bank is affected, consumers are advised to check the data stamp on the product. The affected power banks have a data stamp of 2313, 2316, 2318, or 2319, along with the model number E2038. If your power bank matches these specifications, it is recommended that you discontinue use and return it to an IKEA store for a replacement product or a full refund.
This recall comes at a time when damaging winds are forecasted for multiple states, with the possibility of power cuts. In light of this, it is important for consumers to ensure the safety of their electronic devices, especially those that could pose a risk. IKEA is taking proactive measures to address this issue and ensure the safety of its customers. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
