More than 30,000 wireless power banks have been recalled over risk of fire and explosions.

The recall involves ESR HaloLock Wireless Power Banks with model numbers 2G520, 2G505B and 2G512B, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The power banks have “ESR” printed on the back and the model number on the side. They also have “five circular LED display lights” on the side.

“The lithium-ion battery in the recalled power banks can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers,” the CPSC said.

The CSPC added that consumers should stop using the power banks immediately and contact Waymeet for a refund.

There have been nine reports of the power banks catching fire and exploding, the agency said. There have been no reported injures, but the malfunctions caused about $20,000 in property damage.

The CPSC said consumers should dispose of the devices according to state and local guidelines. Lithium batteries pose a greater risk of fire than normal batteries and cannot be disposed in normal garbage or recycling bins.

More than one million Anker power banks were recalled in June for a similar problem, according to the agency.

On Friday morning, a district court gave the Trump administration another win, reversing an injunction a judge had brought that had blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to dissolve the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

On February 1, President Trump removed CFPB director Rohit Chopra, who had ben appointed by the Biden administration. Acting director Russell Vought then ordered CFPB staff to halt all work and shut down its headquarters. That triggered a lawsuit from the National Treasury Employees Union — which represents most CFPB employees —along with other plaintiffs.

In late March, Judge Amy Berman Jackson in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a preliminary injunction blocking the moves by the Trump administration.

“After briefly narrowing the scope of Jackson’s injunction, the DC Circuit panel reinstated the order shortly after the CFPB attempted a drastic reduction-in-force plan meant to slash the majority of the agency’s headcount,” Bloomberg News reported. “Lawyers for the Trump administration argued Jackson’s injunction was an overly broad encroachment on a federal agency’s efforts to downsize in accordance with the president’s policy directives.”

But on Friday, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that Jackson’s preliminary injunction be vacated.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which is funded by the Federal Reserve, was authorized in 2010 by the Dodd-Frank Act. It has been exempt from congressional oversight throughout its existence and its funding is not determined by congressional legislators, making it the only federal agency with that standing.

In 2015, Investor’s Business Daily accused the CFPB of “diverting potentially millions of dollars in settlement payments for alleged victims of lending bias to a slush fund for poverty groups tied to the Democratic Party” and planning to “create a so-called Civil Penalty Fund for its own shakedown operations targeting financial institutions,” the Heritage Foundation has noted.

In October 2022, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit stated that the CFPB’s “perpetual insulation from Congress’ appropriations power, including the express exemption from congressional review of its funding, renders the Bureau ‘no longer dependent, and as a result, no longer accountable’ to the Congress and ultimately, to the people.”
