Electronics company Anker expanded an official global recall of some of its Power Bank products, adding five more models to a recall of the Anker PowerCore 10000 power banks with the model number A1263 announced earlier in June. The recall was initiated following 19 reports of the portable chargers catching fire and exploding. Anker's products are made in China.

No, they have different suppliers. The current recalls are all because the products from one particular supplier are suspect.
That's explained somewhere in the Anker article linked to in the CNet article you posted a link to.


All the best,

Ok, I see. Still you would think they would adhere to one singe standard when making them.

I got the impression from the recall notices that their masterplan was precisely that but a supplier let them down by including second-class battery cells in their component parts.
