Casely, a company that makes phone cases and other mobile accessories, is again recalling its 5,000-mAh MagSafe Power Pods with the model number E33A, a year after an initial recall. The Power Pods, sold between March 2022 and September 2024, pose a serious risk of fire and burns and resulted in the death of a 75-year-old woman in 2024.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission said that since the initial recall in April 2025, an additional 28 incidents of overheating and fires have been reported, including one on a plane. Overall, it’s estimated that as many as 429,200 of these Power Pods, manufactured in China, are potentially affected.
The Power Pods contain lithium-ion batteries, which can overheat and combust. Other companies, such as Anker, have had similar recalls in the last few years over portable battery products.
Following numerous incidents of power banks and portable chargers overheating, Southwest Airlines has changed its policies and will implement restrictions on April 20. The airline is allowing customers to carry only one portable battery pack per flight and restricting the places that pack can be stored and ways it can be charged during the flight.
Casely and the CPSC are asking those who still own the Power Pods to stop using them immediately and submit a claim for a free replacement at Casely’s website.
