Xiaomi has officially announced a recall for a specific batch of its 33W Power Bank 20000mAh (Integrated Cable) in Pakistan. The company identified a critical overheating issue that poses a potential fire hazard to users.
The Root Cause of the Fire Hazard
The recall strictly targets units with the model number PB2030MI. Specifically, it affects power banks manufactured between August and September 2024. Xiaomi linked the issue directly to faulty raw materials supplied by its vendors.
Consequently, these power banks can malfunction under specific usage conditions. This malfunction causes the internal battery to overheat, which creates a serious fire risk. Xiaomi noted that it has only received a small number of incident reports. However, the company initiated this recall immediately to maintain high safety and product quality standards. Furthermore, Xiaomi issued an apology to affected users and reaffirmed its commitment to providing safe, reliable products globally.
How to Verify Your Xiaomi Device
Users must verify their power banks immediately to ensure their safety. First, locate the Serial Number (SN) code printed on the back of the device. The exact placement of this code varies depending on your specific product version. You will typically find it hidden within the dense text block, right next to the QR code, or printed alongside regulatory symbols at the bottom, such as CE, NOM, and Li-ion 20.
Next, visit Xiaomi’s official announcement. Enter your SN code into their system to confirm whether your specific power bank belongs to the recalled batch. Finally, if your device is affected, follow the official steps provided by Xiaomi to participate in the recall process.
