Overheating Risk Prompts Spansive to Recall 850 Multi-Device Wireless Chargers

Spansive is recalling about 850 Source wireless multi-phone wireless chargers due to a report of a metallic phone accessory overheating when placed on the charger, said the Consumer Product Safety Commission Friday. No injuries have been reported. Consumers should stop using the recalled chargers and return them to the company for a full refund. Spansive is contacting purchasers directly about the recall; the devices were sold exclusively online at www.spansive.com for about $200. The recall applies only to Source chargers sold May 23-24, identifiable by a green label on the unit bottom, it said. The chargers are capable of powering up to six phones simultaneously, four wirelessly and two more via USB ports, it said. The brand was previously known as Pi Charging.
