ESR HaloLock Wireless Power Banks Recalled Due to Fire and Burn Hazards; Distributed by Waymeet
Hazard: The lithium-ion battery in the recalled power banks can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled power banks and contact Waymeet for a full refund. Consumers will be asked to send to support@esrtech.com their order number (not required) and a photo of the recalled power bank showing the model number with the word “Recalled” written on it in permanent marker. Consumers should dispose of the power banks in accordance with local and state hazardous waste disposal regulations.
Note: Do not throw this recalled lithium-ion battery or device in the trash, the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance.

Hazard: The recalled Safe & Green 32 oz. fuel bottles contain hydrocarbons which must be in child-resistant packaging as required by the Poison Prevention Packaging Act. The product includes a nozzle applicator which is not child-resistant, violating the mandatory standard. When the applicator is used instead of the child-resistant closure, it poses a deadly poisoning hazard to young children. Hydrocarbons can get into the lungs, causing chemical pneumonia and pulmonary damage, which can be fatal. In addition, the torch fuel violates the Federal Hazardous Substances Act because it is incorrectly labeled as “Non-Toxic”.
Remedy: Consumers should immediately remove the nozzle applicator from the recalled Safe & Green 32 oz. Fuel bottle and reinstall the child-resistant closure that was included with the product’s original packaging. If the child-resistant closure is not readily available, consumers should immediately secure the recalled Safe & Green 32 oz. fuel bottle out of the sight and reach of children. Consumers should contact Firefly Fuel for a free corrected label to put on the bottle and a free replacement child-resistant lid, if the original is missing.
Units: About 11,275
