About the Recalled Product
The recall covers the HAIARA W5 PRO power bank — a black unit with “20W” printed on the front and “Model: W5 PRO” on the side — sold exclusively on Amazon.com by Mitrytech (Huizhou Yancheng Trading Co., Ltd., China) from May 2025 through September 2026 at prices between $18 and $22. Only units with no date code printed in YYYYMMDD format on the side are included in the recall; units bearing a date code are not affected.
Latest Updates
The CPSC issued Fast Track Recall No. 27-056 on October 29, 2026, after Mitrytech reported 600 thermal incidents, 3 burn injuries, and 9 property damage cases linked to the defective lithium battery in the W5 PRO [1]. The CPSC described the hazard as fire and burn risks from a battery that can explode and ignite, and directed consumers to stop using the product immediately and contact Mitrytech for a full refund [2]. The recalled units are also prohibited from air travel — all power banks are banned from checked luggage under TSA rules, and the recalled HAIARA units cannot be carried onto any part of an aircraft [3].
How the Battery Fails
The HAIARA W5 PRO contains a lithium-ion battery susceptible to thermal runaway — a chain reaction in which a failing cell generates more heat than it can release, causing temperature to escalate rapidly until the battery vents, catches fire, or explodes. Once thermal runaway begins, it is self-sustaining and extremely difficult to suppress.
At $18 to $22, the W5 PRO sits at the low end of the power bank market — a price point the CPSC has identified as a recurring factor in defective lithium battery recalls involving cheap marketplace products sold through Amazon and similar platforms.
600 Incidents Before the Recall
The 600 thermal incident reports filed before the October 29 recall represent an unusually high incident count for a product with approximately 11,000 units in circulation — roughly one reported thermal event for every 18 units sold. That ratio suggests the defect is not a rare manufacturing anomaly but a systematic battery failure affecting a substantial portion of the recalled units.
Three consumers sustained burn injuries and nine reported property damage before the recall was issued, though the gap between 600 thermal incidents and 12 formally reported injury and damage cases likely reflects significant underreporting of events that did not result in documented losses.
Sold Exclusively on Amazon
The HAIARA W5 PRO was sold only through Amazon.com, with no brick-and-mortar retail presence. Amazon maintains purchase records for every transaction, meaning Mitrytech and Amazon can identify the full universe of buyers for the purpose of recall notification.
Consumers who purchased the W5 PRO and have not been contacted directly about the recall should not assume their unit is unaffected — all units without a date code in YYYYMMDD format on the side are included regardless of when they were purchased within the May 2025 to September 2026 sales window.
Reported Injuries
Three burn injuries were reported to the CPSC in connection with the HAIARA W5 PRO prior to the October 29, 2026 recall. Nine incidents resulted in property damage. No deaths were reported.
Can I File a Lawsuit?
If you sustained burn injuries or property damage from a recalled HAIARA W5 PRO power bank, you may have a product liability claim against Mitrytech. Contact an attorney promptly, as state filing deadlines apply.
What to Do Now
Stop using the HAIARA W5 PRO immediately and do not charge it, store it near flammable materials, or place it in checked or carry-on luggage. To receive a full refund, write “recalled” on the unit in permanent marker, photograph it, and send the photo to HAIARArecall@outlook.com or visit www.haiara.net/recalls.html. Do not dispose of the unit in household trash or standard recycling — contact your local municipal hazardous waste facility for lithium battery disposal guidance.
