PSA: Stop using your Casely Power Pods wireless charger immediately
TL;DR
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has reannounced a recall of Casely's Power Pods 5,000mAh MagSafe charger (model E33A) after continued safety incidents. The original recall of 429,000 units followed 51 reported incidents of overheating, swelling, and fires. A 75-year-old woman was severely burned in August 2024 when the device exploded on her lap. Users are urged to immediately stop using the device and contact Casely for a replacement.
Nauti's Take
The USCPSC taking decisive follow-up action and providing users a clear path — return the device, get a replacement — is the consumer protection system working as intended. The structural problem is real: the first recall was widely ignored, with deadly consequences.
If you own a Casely Power Pods E33A, stop using it immediately; the industry needs better enforcement, not just reissued announcements.
