VIDEO/PHOTO: After a wireless phone charger from Baseus caught fire in Farmington Hills last February, a nationwide investigation was launched. As a result, approximately 132,000 Baseus Magnetic Wireless Charging Power Banks have been recalled across the United States as of June 27. "The lithium-ion battery in the power banks can overheat, posing a fire hazard," according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The battery fire in Farmington Hills that eventually led to the recall was intense but small. "The homeowner heard his power bank hissing and saw it burst into flames," according to a news release from the city. "Though the fire was out when crews arrived and caused minimal damage and no injuries, Farmington Hills Fire Marshal Jason Baloga wanted to investigate further."
