Michaels Issues Recall for Tassel Keychain Mobile Power Bank

Michaels issued a recall on October 29th, 2019, for its Bead Landing tassel keychain mobile power banks. These items are able to charge smart phones and other devices thanks to the lithium batteries within them. The power banks were recalled, however, because the batteries could potentially overheat, which could cause fires and burn hazards. The keychains are 7 inches long and 1.5 inches wide. They have USB and micro USB charging cables and a lighting adapter for the micro USB cable. The recall only concerns the keychains that come in specific colors: black, cream, blush pink, and iridescent blue. The SKU numbers and UPC codes for each specific type are, respectively, 545929 / 191518582543, 545930 / 191518582550, 545931 / 191518582567, and 545932 / 191518582574. 14,000 of the units were recalled, as well as an additional 950 in Canada. The items were manufactured in China and imported into Texas. They were sold by Michaels nationwide from March 2018 through August 2019 and cost about $20 to purchase. To date, there have been two reports of the keychain batteries overheating while they were charging devices. The keychains caught fire and created some minor property damage. Fortunately, no injuries or burns were reported. As a remedy, Michaels recommends that consumers return the keychains to the store for a total refund.

These fires may be small as well, but even a small fire can create a large blaze if it catches dry materials or goes unnoticed. The problem often occurs when the phones or devices are left unattended and the owner does not notice the issue. However, some small fires and shorts can still happen even if the owner is attentive.
