EE is recalling Power Bar portable chargers over fire risks from overheating
EE has identified a small number of incidents where its Power Bar portable chargers have overheated. The company is now recalling a specific batch of Power Bars and is asking consumers to check the model numbers of their chargers.
Should your Power Bar be from the E1-06 batch, you'll need to return it as the charger could pose a fire safety risk. Here's how to check:
Simply head to your local EE store and hand the unit in. If you happen to own a Power Bar from another batch, EE states you should be absolutely fine. In the meantime, EE has suspended its swap program until the investigation is complete.
