Background. This event is more than 90 days old. We keep it for reference; it is not current news. Recalls stay in force until the maker says otherwise, so the checks below still apply.

What changed at a glance

What changed

On July 9, 2026, the CPSC announced Flaunt’s recall of about 1,400 Flaunt MagSafe Battery Charger power banks, model E33A (recall 26-610). “FLAUNT” is engraved on the front right side, there’s a small round button at the bottom center of the front, and the back label reads “FLAUNT” and “Model: E33A”. They came in melon, black, lavender and white, and measure about 3 by 2 by 0.25 inches.

The CPSC’s hazard statement:

“The lithium-ion battery in the recalled power banks (chargers) can overheat and ignite, posing a risk of serious injury or death from fire and burn hazards.”

Flaunt received five reports of the power banks overheating and catching fire, according to the notice, including a burn to one consumer’s hand, a burn to another’s arm, and four reports of minor property damage. They were sold online at flauntcases.com from May 2024 through April 2025 for about $65. The CPSC lists iDecoz Inc. (doing business as Flaunt) of Brooklyn and Case-Mate of Atlanta as the importers; they were made in China.

Who it affects

Anyone who bought a Flaunt magnetic battery charger from flauntcases.com in that window. It’s a small, thin MagSafe-style phone charger.

The model number may look familiar. E33A is also the model number of the Casely Power Pods whose recall the CPSC re-announced in April 2026 after a death and an in-flight fire; we covered that recall. The CPSC notices don’t say whether the two products share a design or a factory, so check the brand and the label, not just the model number.

Neither product can power a Starlink Mini; they’re phone chargers far below Starlink’s 100 W USB PD requirement.

What it means for your power setup

Nothing changes for the dish. This matters for the same reason the other small-bank recalls do: a Mini kit travels with phones, and phones travel with magnetic chargers. On a plane, airlines now limit how many power banks you can carry; see flying with a Mini. For running the dish itself, our USB-C power bank guide and Mini cases cover what to pack.

What to do

1. Check any magnetic phone charger for “FLAUNT” engraved on the front and “Model: E33A” on the back.
2. If it matches, stop using it, per the CPSC notice.
3. Register at flauntcases.com/pages/recall. Flaunt asks for two photos: the front of the charger with “Recalled”, your initials and the registration date written on it in permanent marker, and the back showing the model number. Email: recall@flauntcases.com.
4. Choose a check for the $65 price or an $80 store credit. Flaunt will email disposal instructions.
5. Don’t put it in the trash or curbside recycling. The CPSC advises asking your local household hazardous waste site whether it takes recalled lithium-ion batteries.

What stays the same

• Starlink’s power requirements for the Mini: unchanged.
• The Casely E33A recall: separate, and still in force.
• No product on our bench list is affected.

What we don’t know yet

• Whether the Flaunt and Casely E33A chargers come from the same manufacturer. Neither notice says.
• How many of the 1,400 units have been returned.
