Plain-English summary

This recall expansion covers ESR HaloLock wireless power banks with model number 2G505, in addition to models 2G520, 2G505B and 2G512B, which were previously recalled. "ESR" is printed on the back and the model numbers on the right side of the pocket-size power banks. Model 2G505 was sold in black and white.

The lithium-ion battery in the power banks can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards. The firm has received 20 reports of the battery catching fire and exploding, resulting in property damage of about $30,000. No injuries have been reported.

About 19,500 units are covered by this expansion, with about 2,015 more sold in Canada. Waymeet previously recalled 24,000 power banks on 14 August 2025, plus 9,900 sold in Canada under that action. The units were sold on Amazon.com and Esrtech.com in all models, and on Homedepot.com for models 2G520, 2G505B and 2G512B, from September 2022 through July 2025 for between $32 and $50.

Consumers should immediately stop using the power banks and contact Waymeet for a full refund, emailing [email protected] a photo of the power bank showing the model number with "Recalled" written on it in permanent marker. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must not go in household trash, general recycling or retail battery recycling boxes, and should be taken to a household hazardous waste collection centre that accepts them.
