Woman's death, fire on plane prompt updated recall of Casely charger

The death of a 75-year-old woman has led to an updated recall of more than 400,000 Casely wireless chargers.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Casely reannounced a recall of about 429,000 Casely Power Banks 5000mAh portable MagSafe wireless phone chargers on April 16 after one woman died using the charger and another sustained first-degree burns. The wireless chargers were previously recalled in April 2025.

At the time of the first recall, Casely received 51 consumer reports of the chargers overheating, expanding or catching on fire while in use, resulting in six minor burns. Since the recall, 28 new consumer reports have been filed, including the reported death of a woman.

In August 2024, a 75-year-old woman from New Jersey was using the wireless charger when it caught fire and exploded. She suffered second- and third-degree burns and later died from her injuries, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission recall. In February of this year, a 47-year-old woman was using the charger on an airplane when it caught fire and exploded. She sustained first-degree burns.
