If you bought a cheap Anker speaker on Amazon last year, you might want to check its serial code, as almost 70,000 are being recalled in America and almost 10,000 in Canada. As originally reported by The Verge, Anker is recalling several models of Soundcore and Powerconf speakers, due to their lithium-ion batteries being faulty.
In the full report, it says "The firm has received 33 reports of incidents involving the lithium-ion batteries in the speakers overheating, some of those involving incidents of smoking and small fires, including one minor burn injury in connection with an overheating unit."
