The 34-page lawsuit was filed after the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of Charmast power banks, model W1056, sold in black, blue, green, mint, pink and white on December 19. According to the case, the recalled products, which are sold exclusively on Amazon.com, contain a defective lithium-ion battery that can overheat and ignite, posing a risk of fire or burns to users.

The Chinese manufacturer failed to warn consumers that its product “was, and still is,” unsafe to use, the class action suit alleges. Nowhere on the packaging or labels is a potential safety risk disclosed, the complaint contends.

The plaintiff, a California resident, says she purchased a Charmast power bank from Amazon.com in November 2022. The woman claims that she, like other consumers, would not have bought the product had she known it was “worthless and dangerous” and unsafe to be used for its intended purpose.

The Charmast recall lawsuit asserts that the alleged defect plaguing the power bank could have been avoided, as alternative designs and materials were available to the company at the time the product was manufactured.

The suit looks to represent all United States residents who purchased a recalled Charmast power bank, model W1056, between December 2018 and September 2024.
