EE recalls all Power Bar mobile phone chargers over fire risk

Telecoms firm says it is aware of incidents in which devices have overheated and customers should stop using them

EE has issued a recall for all its Power Bar portable chargers because of a fault that can cause overheating and a fire safety risk.

The move by the telecoms firm comes just four months after an initial recall of one batch of the portable chargers amid reports they could overheat and explode. The company has now said that in order to make sure all customers remain safe, all Power Bars should be returned to an EE store.
