A day after the Saudi Ministry of Commerce announced a recall of Anker products due to fire risks, Kuwait’s Ministry of Commerce and Industry has also announced a recall of five Anker battery products that require immediate replacement due to defects.

Reports indicate that five lithium-ion batteries used in the Anker 335 (20,000mAh, 22.5W) power bank, Model A1647, may pose a fire hazard due to a manufacturing issue. These power banks can overheat, which could cause the plastic components to melt, leading to potential smoke and fire risks.

Anker is recalling the specified Anker 335 models with the following serial numbers:
– AHJ5W51E10600062
– AHJ5W51E08200551
– AHJ5W51E10600493
– AHJ5W51E10600066
– AHJ5W51E08200143

Customers who have purchased these products are urged to stop using them immediately and to contact Astore or Anker Innovations stores to return the items.
