HyperJuice 130W USB-C Battery Packs Recalled for Fire Hazard

Hyper Products is recalling HyperJuice 130W USB-C Battery Packs because they can overheat while charging and pose a fire hazard. Two reports of overheating have resulted in smoke, melting, and property damage.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states two reports of overheating with property damage but no injuries reported. Because actual property damage has occurred (not merely theoretical risk), this meets the High severity threshold for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
