Lenovo has initiated a recall of Lenovo Go USB Type-C portable power banks produced from January through June 2022. This information comes directly from the company’s official communications.
The recall stems from a technical defect that may cause short circuits, overheating, or fires in the lithium-ion batteries. Lenovo representatives indicate that about 3,000 batteries, identified by numbers 40ALLG2WWW and PBLG2W, were sold in the United States, Canada, and other regions worldwide.
Consumers are advised to verify the production date printed on the back of the device. Batteries dated 01/22, 02/22, 03/22, 04/22, 05/22, and 06/22 are considered potentially dangerous.
Customers should stop using the faulty power banks immediately and contact Lenovo support for a free replacement device. This action helps prevent harm while Lenovo works to resolve the issue on a broad scale.
Additionally, Lenovo cautions against disposing of defective batteries in regular recycling streams. Improper recycling could pose risks to people and the environment, so the company commits to arranging safe recycling for all recalled units.
As a cautionary note, a separate incident in Neftekamsk involved a fire linked to a personal computer and other devices connected to a network, underscoring the importance of proper device handling and battery safety. This example is referenced to illustrate the potential serious consequences of battery faults and to reinforce the need for prompt action when recalls are issued. All details are provided in official notices and follow-up updates from Lenovo and safety authorities.
