The National Competition Commission (Ministry of Industry and Trade) has announced the receipt of a report from Xiaomi Vietnam Co., Ltd. regarding the recall of the Xiaomi 33W Power Bank 20000mAh (Integrated Cable), model PB2030MI. The recall is due to a discovered risk of overheating during use, which poses a potential fire hazard.
According to the report, the issue stems from substandard raw materials provided by a supplier. The affected products were manufactured between August and September 2024, with a total of 87 units distributed in the Vietnamese market.
The official recall program commenced on September 2, 2025, and will continue until all defective products are recovered. Xiaomi Vietnam has pledged to provide a full refund to customers within 5 to 10 working days after receiving the returned product, covering all associated return costs.
Xiaomi has confirmed that no incidents or injuries related to this product line have been reported in Vietnam to date.
The National Competition Commission is closely monitoring the recall process and urges media outlets to widely disseminate information to help consumers identify and return affected products.
Previously, in June 2025, the Commission oversaw the recall of over 30,927 Anker-branded power banks in Vietnam. The recall was due to a defect in the welding of the negative electrode tabs of the battery cells, which could lead to short circuits and fires. Analysis also revealed excessive iron impurities in the positive electrodes, increasing the risk of reduced reliability and safety during use.
In China, the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) recently mandated that Romoss, Anker, and Xiaomi recall over 1.35 million power banks due to fire risks. Romoss is recalling 167,000 units, Anker 565,000 units, and Xiaomi 17,000 units, with total refunds exceeding 100 million yuan. The recall currently applies only to the Chinese market.
In Vietnam, Romoss and Anker have not yet announced additional recall plans for the affected batches. Their products remain widely available in stores and on e-commerce platforms.
Experts advise consumers to purchase only genuine power banks with clear safety certifications and avoid counterfeit products. During use, avoid charging while in use, overnight charging, and store the power bank in a cool, dry place away from high temperatures or flammable materials.
If a power bank becomes unusually hot, swollen, or emits a burning smell, users should immediately stop using it and contact the point of purchase for advice, inspection, or replacement to ensure safety.
