Health Canada is alerting Canadians about a recall of tens of thousands of power banks sold at HomeSense, Winners and Marshalls, as they pose a fire hazard.<\/p>\n

In a consumer product recall<\/a> shared this week, Health Canada says that 30,000 units of the XO Poppy 5000 mAH Magsafe Powerbanks were sold across Canada. The product came in various colours and prints, and included a USB-C charging cable.<\/p>\n
