Anker is requesting a "photo of the recalled portable charger with the submission date and the word 'recall' or 'recalled' written on it in permanent marker."
To dispose of the chargers, you should not just throw it in the trash, though be aware that your local municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center might not accept them.
"Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact it ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries. If it does not, contact your municipality for further guidance," the Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
We have found that in general, if your closest center won't take electronics, they will tell you which ones do or provide alternatives.
