Mitrytech is recalling about 11,000 HAIARA power banks because their lithium batteries can explode and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards. CPSC's October 29 notice tells consumers to stop using the recalled units immediately and contact the seller for instructions on receiving a full refund.

Identify the model and missing date code

The notice covers black HAIARA power banks, model W5 PRO, sold on Amazon.com by Mitrytech. They have '20W' printed on the front and 'Model: W5 PRO' printed on the side.

The date-code boundary matters: the notice says the warning applies to power banks with no date code, in the format YYYYMMDD, printed on the side. It does not identify every HAIARA power bank as covered.

The seller name Mitrytech and brand name HAIARA appear on the purchase receipt. Covered units were sold on Amazon from May 2025 through September 2026 for between $18 and $22. CPSC identifies the retailer as Huizhou Yancheng Trading Co., Ltd., doing business as Mitrytech, of China.

What the refund requires

Consumers who purchased the power banks from Mitrytech on Amazon should contact Mitrytech for full-refund instructions. The notice gives HAIARArecall@outlook.com as the contact email and lists the seller's recall website.

To receive a refund, consumers must submit a photograph of the recalled power bank with the word 'recalled' written on it in permanent marker. They must also confirm disposal in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

The notice does not specify one disposal method for every location. Its refund instructions should not be read as permission to dispose of a recalled battery contrary to those requirements.

Reports are not all reports of injury

Mitrytech has been made aware of 600 reports of fire and other thermal incidents, including three reports of burn injuries and nine reports of property damage, according to CPSC. The 600 figure combines fire and other thermal incidents; it is not a count of 600 injured people.

The underlying reports were not independently examined for this article. The notice gives no independently measured failure rate for all units sold.
