What to Do With Recalled Chargers

If you have one of the recalled wireless charges consumers are advised to immediately stop using it and go to this website to register for the recall and for instructions on how to receive a full refund.

After registering, consumers should dispose of the power bank in accordance with local and state regulations. The recall reminded consumers not to throw out the recalled lithium-ion battery or device in their household trash, the general recycling stream (street-level or curbside recycling bins), or used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores.

Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire.
