Yikes. I was actually thinking of buying a power bank when I heard about this recall.

I don’t even know what a power bank is
It’s an external lithium battery used to charge your phone or laptop when you don’t have access to an electrical outlet. They are rechargeable. I don’t know why these things are called “power banks”. I really was thinking about buying one but now I’ll just wait until I’m near an outlet.
Thank you so much! It seems as though these lithium batteries can be very dangerous. The house of a friend of mine burned down because of a battery overheating I believe it was for their car or maybe a motorcycle, but it was charging in the garage.
Yikes!
