About 32,400 XO Poppy Power Banks Recalled for Fire and Burn Hazards

About 32,400 magnetic wireless power banks sold exclusively at TJX and Marshalls stores are being pulled from shelves after regulators found the lithium-ion batteries inside them can overheat and ignite. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on September 3, 2026, working with importer Truststone Group LLC of New York to get the affected units out of consumers’ hands.

If you picked up a small, cushiony magnetic power bank in a cream, bow-print or teddy bear pattern from TJX or Marshalls sometime in the last year, it’s worth checking your drawers and bags right now. The product line, sold under the ‘XO Poppy Power Trip’ name, was a popular impulse buy at checkout counters for shoppers looking for a compact charger to toss in a purse or backpack.

Which Items Are Involved?

The recall covers XO Poppy Power Trip Magnetic Wireless Power Banks with model number PYPBK5M. They were sold in three color and print variations, each with its own specific model number printed on the bottom of the original packaging directly above the barcode:

• Cream colored – model PY-PBK5M-CR2
• Cream with pink bow print – model PY-PBK5M-BW8
• Black with teddy bear print – model PY-PBK5M-TB2

These power banks were manufactured in Vietnam and sold at TJX and Marshalls stores nationwide from April 2025 through March 2026, priced at around $15 each.

What Went Wrong?

At the heart of the issue is the built-in lithium-ion battery. According to CPSC, the battery can overheat and ignite during normal use or charging, creating a real risk of fire and burns for anyone holding the device or storing it near flammable materials. No injuries or incidents have been reported so far, but the agency says the hazard is serious enough to warrant a full recall rather than waiting for something to go wrong.

Lithium-ion batteries are common in portable electronics, but when a defect causes internal short-circuiting or excessive heat buildup, the results can escalate quickly – from a warm device to smoke, sparks or open flame in a matter of seconds. That’s the exact concern driving this recall.

Who Should Be Concerned

Anyone who shopped at a TJX-owned store, including Marshalls, between April 2025 and March 2026 and purchased one of these small magnetic power banks should treat it as recalled until confirmed otherwise. Because the product was sold nationwide rather than in a specific region, consumers across the country could have one sitting in a bag, car console or junk drawer without realizing it’s now subject to a safety recall.

What Consumers Need to Do Now

Stop using the power bank immediately. Do not continue charging devices with it, and do not simply toss it in the trash or a curbside recycling bin – lithium-ion batteries pose a fire risk even after they’re no longer in use, so they require special handling.

Instead, consumers should contact their local municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center ahead of time to confirm it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries and devices before dropping one off. If the local center doesn’t accept them, reach out to the municipality for further disposal guidance.

For the refund itself, Truststone Group is offering consumers a full refund in the form of a virtual gift card that can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted. Consumers can reach the company toll-free at 833-820-0888 from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, by email at xopowerbank@realtimeresults.net, or online at recallrtr.com/xopowerbank, where clicking ‘Important Recall Information’ provides full details on how to proceed.

From the Agency

CPSC’s notice states plainly that the lithium-ion battery in the recalled power banks ‘can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards to consumers.’ The agency has logged the action under recall number 26-740 and continues to urge anyone with an affected unit to stop using it right away rather than wait for a confirmed incident.

This recall follows a string of similar lithium-ion battery actions in 2026 involving other portable electronics, underscoring how closely regulators are now watching compact rechargeable devices sold through mass retailers.
