The recall covers the Flaunt MagSafe Battery Charger, model E33A, a portable lithium-ion device that measures about 3 by 2 by 0.25 inches, weighs about 3.2 ounces, and comes in melon, black, lavender, and white.
Five overheating and ignition incidents have been reported to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Two of those incidents involved people who were burned.
Portable chargers have become an everyday essential for many people, especially travelers and anyone who relies on a phone throughout the day. But that convenience can quickly become a serious safety issue when a lithium-ion battery overheats.
Battery packs prone to catching fire can injure users, damage homes, and create hazards in cars, offices, and luggage.
Flaunt sold the chargers on flauntcases.com from May 2024 through April 2025. To spot a recalled unit, check the back for the model number, the front right side for the engraved “Flaunt” name, and the front for a circular button.
Owners of these chargers should power down the device right away and reach out to Flaunt to arrange a refund.
A recalled charger that was sitting on the lap of a 75-year-old New Jersey woman exploded and caught fire, leaving her with burns severe enough that she later died from her injuries. NewsNation also described a separate case in which a recalled charger burst into flames as a passenger charged her phone during a flight, leaving her with first-degree burns.
