Anker has since posted its own update on the developing situation, announcing that the company will be replacing the China-manufactured charging banks affected by the recall. In order to qualify for the replacement, customers must submit photo evidence that they own the indicated model, as well as proof that they have disposed of the device properly. The company has advised those customers not to throw their power banks in their standard trash recepticles, but to instead contact their local hazardous waste collection service for further instructions.
