Several POM power banks sold in TK Maxx and Homesense stores are being recalled because they may pose a fire risk. Customers should stop using affected models immediately and return them to a TK Maxx or Homesense store for a refund or replacement.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards has published recall notice 2605-0127 for POM power banks sold by TK Maxx. TK Maxx also lists the recall on its UK safety notices page, with model details and customer service information.
The recall covers various POM power bank product lines sold in TK Maxx and Homesense stores between August 2024 and May 2026, according to TK Maxx and the product report linked from the OPSS recall page.
It is not a recall of every power bank ever sold by the retailers. Customers should check the exact POM product line and model number before deciding whether their charger is affected.
Check the model number on the power bank, its packaging or any documents you still have. The affected product lines and model numbers are:
The OPSS notice says the products present a fire risk because the internal wiring may not be securely attached. Loose wiring could cause a short circuit, overheating and fire.
The notice also says the products do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.
Customers with an affected model should stop using it immediately. The official advice is to return the product to the nearest TK Maxx or Homesense store.
TK Maxx says customers can get a full refund or replacement. UK customers can also contact TK Maxx customer service on 01923 473561 or by email at customerservice@tjxeurope.com.
The public notices checked do not state how many POM power banks are affected. They also do not state any injury reports.
No batch code or serial number range was listed for this wider POM recall in the public OPSS notice. The model numbers are the main identifiers customers should use.
TK Maxx’s recall page includes other power bank notices, including products that are not part of this POM recall. Customers should avoid relying on the words “power bank” alone and should match the brand, product line and model number.
Customers should follow the latest OPSS and TK Maxx recall notices if they need to check a newly found model or confirm store return instructions.
This article will be updated if OPSS or TK Maxx changes the affected model list, customer guidance or safety information.
