CONSUMER SAFETY RECALL — FIRE & BURN HAZARD
Check a HAIARA W5 PRO power bank. The missing date code matters.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled about 11,000 HAIARA W5 PRO power banks sold on Amazon by Mitrytech. The covered units are black, show “20W” on the front and have no YYYYMMDD date code on the side. Stop using an exact match immediately.
All of these details should match
- Product: black HAIARA power bank with “20W” printed on the front.
- Model: W5 PRO, printed on the side.
- Seller: Mitrytech on the Amazon receipt; the brand should read HAIARA.
- Date code: no YYYYMMDD date code printed on the side. The recall is not written to include a W5 PRO unit that has a side date code.
- Sales window: Amazon.com from May 2025 through September 2026, for about $18–$22.
Stop using a match before starting the refund
CPSC says the lithium battery can explode and ignite. Mitrytech reported 600 fires or other thermal incidents to the agency, including three burn injuries and nine reports of property damage. Those are company reports summarized by CPSC; the federal record does not identify a Rockland incident.
For refund instructions, use the HAIARA recall page ↗ or email HAIARArecall@outlook.com. CPSC says the refund process requires a photo of the power bank with the word “recalled” written on it in permanent marker, followed by confirmation that it was disposed of under applicable laws and regulations. Get the company's instructions before surrendering or disposing of the unit so the required proof is preserved.
Keep the battery out of household trash and recycling
Rockland Green says batteries—especially lithium-ion batteries—do not belong in household garbage or recycling bins. Its current guidance lists the Household Hazardous Waste Facility at 35 Firemens Memorial Drive in Pomona, open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., and participating retailers as battery-disposal options. Check Rockland Green's current battery guidance ↗ and confirm that the chosen location will accept this recalled unit before traveling.
EPA recommends isolating lithium-battery terminals with nonconductive tape or placing a device in its own plastic bag for transport. If a battery is swollen, damaged, hot, smoking or otherwise appears to present an immediate fire risk, do not improvise transport: contact the manufacturer or local waste program for handling instructions, and call 911 for an imminent fire danger.
Why this belongs in Rockland's service layer
The sale was nationwide through Amazon, so a Rockland buyer can match the product without relying on a local-store list. That makes the stop-use instruction useful here, but it does not prove a Rockland purchase, injury, fire or property-damage event. The Rockland Edit has not inspected a unit or tested the refund process.
What changes for a Rockland resident: check the device and Amazon receipt. If the seller, brand, model, color, 20W marking and missing side date code all match, stop using the power bank, preserve the refund photo and arrange lawful lithium-battery disposal—never household trash or ordinary recycling.
Primary records checked November 2, 2026, at 5:52 p.m. EST: U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall 27-056 ↗, dated October 29; Rockland Green's battery-disposal guidance ↗ and Household Hazardous Waste facility page ↗; and EPA's lithium-ion battery guidance ↗. CPSC supplies the recall scope, incidents and refund process; the local and federal waste pages supply general handling and disposal guidance, not confirmation that a particular facility has accepted this unit.
