A safety recall has been issued for a line of MagSafe battery chargers after authorities documented five incidents of overheating and ignition, including burns to a user’s hand and arm. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) confirmed that Flaunt is recalling about 1,400 units sold online at flauntcases.com from May 2024 through April 2025 for roughly $65. The recalled devices are branded with the word “FLAUNT” on the front-right side, and feature a small circular button on the bottom center of the front panel. They were offered in melon, black, lavender and white.
CPSC officials warned that the lithium-ion batteries in these recalled power banks can overheat and ignite, creating a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards. Because these batteries carry a higher risk of fire, disposal requires special handling. Consumers should stop using the recalled power banks immediately and contact Flaunt for a full refund. The recall underscores ongoing safety scrutiny of consumer electronics and the handling of lithium-ion batteries in home devices, particularly for accessories that customers commonly keep in households and offices.
The agency noted there have been five reports of overheating and ignition, including a burn to a person’s hand and another to a person’s arm, along with four reports of minor property damage. Affected units carry model number E33A. The instruction from regulators is clear: do not dispose of these batteries with regular trash or recycling streams. Instead, consumers should follow outlined disposal guidance to reduce fire risks associated with damaged or recalled lithium-ion batteries.
Flaunt has urged customers to halt use immediately and contact the company for a refund, while the CPSC continues to monitor any further safety developments. The recall shows to consumers about the evolving safety standards surrounding portable power banks and the importance of proper disposal of lithium‑ion batteries to mitigate fire hazards in homes and workplaces.
