The chargers attach to the backs of smartphones and are being recalled over fire and burn risks.
WASHINGTON — More than 20,000 Isla Rae Magnetic Wireless Chargers were recalled in the United States and Canada on Thursday due to possible fire and burn hazards.
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission said the chargers “can explode while in use, posing a fire and burn hazard.”
Roughly 13,200 were sold in the United States and an additional 3,000 were sold in Canada.
The impacted charger has model numbers RM5PBMDP, RM5PBMSL, RM5PBMPW, which can be found on the side of the charger below the “5000 mAh 3.7V” marking.
The Isla Rae brand sold the chargers in white, pink and purple at T.J. Maxx and Marshalls stores nationwide between June 2024 and March 2025.
No injuries have been reported.
Customers are urged to stop using the chargers, which can attach magnetically to the back of smart phones, and register for a recall here. The website is for U.S. customers. Canadian customers can call 888-256-1564 for more information.
Once the refund is initiated, it will come in the form of a physical check and the customer can get rid of the charger per their local laws regarding lithium ion batteries. Do not throw these charges away in household trashcans.
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission requests people not throw away the recalled unit since the battery can cause fires. Contact your local municipal household hazardous waste collection center to see where you can properly dispose of the recalled charger.
