Health Canada has recalled about 20,000 portable power banks sold across Canada after identifying a potential fire risk linked to overheating lithium-ion batteries. The recall affects specific LOGiiX Piston Power 5000 Mag magnetic power banks that were available between January 2022 and July 2025. Consumers who own one of the affected models are being told to stop using the device immediately and arrange a replacement.
The recall follows several reported overheating incidents involving the portable chargers. Although no injuries have been reported, Health Canada says the affected units could become dangerously hot while charging a phone or while being recharged themselves, creating a possible fire hazard.
Which LOGiiX power banks are included in the recall?
The recall applies to LOGiiX Piston Power 5000 Mag Power Banks, manufactured in China for Vancouver-based accessories company LOGiiX. The products were sold across Canada in several colours.
Consumers should check the model number printed on the bottom of the original packaging above the barcode.
Recalled model numbers include:
LGX-13302 – Black
LGX-13303 – White
LGX-13304 – Navy or Midnight Blue
LGX-13839 – Lavender
LGX-13840 – Blush
If you no longer have the packaging, purchase receipts or online order confirmations may include the model number or SKU needed to identify the product.
Why the products were recalled
According to Health Canada, a limited number of the recalled power banks may overheat during normal use or while charging. Lithium-ion batteries can generate intense heat if an internal fault develops, increasing the risk of smoke, fire, or damage to nearby materials.
As of February 9, 2026, LOGiiX had received four reports of overheating incidents in Canada. Health Canada said there have been no reported injuries linked to the recalled products.
Safety recalls involving rechargeable batteries are typically issued early because even a small number of confirmed incidents can indicate a broader product safety concern.
What owners should do now
Health Canada recommends that anyone with one of the recalled models stop using the power bank immediately.
Do not continue charging or using the device. Place it in a cool, dry location away from combustible materials while arranging the replacement process.
Contact LOGiiX for a replacement. The company is providing replacement units for affected customers. Keeping the original packaging or proof of purchase may help speed up the process.
Dispose of the battery safely. Lithium-ion batteries should never be thrown into household garbage or standard recycling bins. Instead, contact your local municipality or household hazardous waste program for approved disposal instructions.
Official recall information and replacement instructions are available through Health Canada’s product recall notice.
How to reduce the risk while waiting for a replacement
If you still have one of the recalled power banks, store it away from flammable materials such as paper, bedding, clothing, or cleaning products. Avoid exposing the device to high temperatures, including leaving it inside a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight.
If the battery begins to swell, leak, emit an unusual smell, produce smoke, or become excessively hot, discontinue handling it and follow local guidance for damaged lithium-ion batteries.
Why battery recalls deserve attention
Portable power banks are carried in backpacks, handbags, vehicles, and workplaces, making battery safety especially important. While most rechargeable battery products operate safely throughout their lifespan, manufacturing defects can occasionally create overheating risks that are difficult for consumers to detect before a failure occurs.
Health Canada also reminds consumers that recalled products should not be sold, donated, or given to someone else. Following the official replacement and disposal process helps reduce the risk of future incidents.
