The affected power bank, Anker said in a press release, is the model A1112 321. You can tell if your device is a part of the recall by looking at the bottom for "Anker 321 power bank (PowerCore 5K), Model: A1112."

Anker explained that the problem was limited to a small number of batteries in a batch produced after March 2023, but that it was recalling every product in that line out of an abundance of caution.

A similar recall happened in 2023 for Anker's 535 Power Bank. No fires have been reported as a result of the newest defect, but the device recalled in 2023 was directly blamed for a Maryland house fire.

The affected Soundcore speakers (Soundcore is Anker's audio division) include the A3302 AnkerWork PowerConf S3 speakerphone and the A3102 Soundcore Bluetooth speaker. 

Here's what to do if you have any of these devices:
