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: Nine documented incidents of battery fires and explosions with approximately $20,000 in property damage warrant a High severity. However, because the source explicitly states no personal injuries have been reported, this meets the rubric's criteria for Score 3 (High) rather than Score 4 (Severe).

Plain-English summary

ESR HaloLock wireless power banks with model numbers 2G520, 2G505B, and 2G512B are being recalled. The power banks are pocket-sized devices with five circular LED display lights, sold in dark blue, light blue, gray, white, and black. About 24,000 units were distributed in the United States between September 2023 and July 2025.

The lithium-ion batteries in these power banks can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers. The company has received nine reports of the battery catching fire and exploding, resulting in approximately $20,000 in property damage. No personal injuries have been reported.

The power banks were sold through Amazon.com, Homedepot.com, and Esrtech.com for between $32 and $40. The distributor is Waymeet Limited of Hong Kong.

Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled power banks and contact Waymeet for a full refund.
