Beware of this power bank from IKEA, it can cause a fire

IKEA is recalling VARMFRONT power banks (translated from Swedish: warm front) because they can cause a fire. If you have it, it can be returned to the store and you will receive a replacement product or money in exchange. You don’t need a receipt.

The problem only affects some lots of the 10400 mAh (model number E2038 lot and RRTT 2313, 2316, 2318 or 2319) and 5200 mAh (model number E2037 and lot RRTT 2318, 2319 or 2322) models.

The batch of the power bank is indicated on the back in the lower right corner. Other batches are not affected by the problem or exchange. The power bank is still on sale for 499 and 299 CZK, respectively.

At the beginning of the year, IKEA had a problem with the Ã…SKSTORM USB charger, where the braided power cable was at risk of wear. This charger was also recalled by IKEA and refunded.
