The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has called the ESR HaloLock Wireless Power Banks.
This was after the Commission was notified by Waymeet Limited.
The NCC’s spokesperson, Pheto Ntaba, said the affected products were imported from China and sold through online stores like Takealot.
The products were sold between 2023 and 2024.
“This recall applies to the ESR HaloLock kickstand wireless power banks, model 2G505B, which were sold in black and feature five circular LED display lights,” Ntaba said.
The product recall comes due to a safety concern.
“According to the supplier, the power bank presents a risk of fire as the lithium-ion batteries can overheat whilst in use. The lithium-ion batteries of the recalled product may overheat during use, posing a risk of fire and burns to consumers,” Ntaba said.
The NCC is urging consumers in possession of the affected products to immediately stop using them and return them to a point of purchase for a refund.
“Consumers who have questions or enquiries about this recall are encouraged to contact [email protected],” Ntaba said.
This follows the recent recall of over 100 Land Rover Defender and Jaguar I-Pace vehicles due to safety concerns.
Jaguar informed the NCC that it is recalling certain 2026 model-year Land Rover Defender vehicles, which were sold between November 3, 2025, and February 21, 2026, through authorised dealerships. This specific recall affects 60 vehicles.
Jaguar is also recalling certain 2019 to 2021 model-year Jaguar I-Pace vehicles that were sold nationally between June 23, 2019, and June 18, 2021, affecting 67 vehicles.
