The affected products were sold in white, pink, and purple and can be identified by the model number “RM5PBM” printed on the side of the charger, below the “5000 mAh 3.7V” markings. These chargers were available at Marshalls and T.J. Maxx stores across the United States between June 2024 and November 2025, with a retail price of $15 each. The importer of these chargers is Hello to Green, doing business as Press Play Products of Bell, California, and the retailer is The TJX Companies Inc., based in Framingham, Massachusetts.
Consumers who purchased these Isla Rae Magnetic Wireless Chargers are strongly advised to immediately stop using the product. To receive a full refund, customers must register for the recall and follow the provided instructions at the dedicated recall website, http://www.recallrtr.com/powerbank. After registering, consumers should dispose of the recalled power bank according to local and state regulations. It is critical not to discard the lithium-ion battery in regular household trash or standard recycling bins, as these batteries present a heightened fire risk. Consumers are urged to consult their municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center for proper disposal guidance, contacting the center beforehand to confirm acceptance of recalled lithium-ion batteries.
While no incidents or injuries have been reported in connection with this specific recall, the potential for the devices to explode underscores the importance of heeding these safety instructions. The CPSC collaborates with companies to implement voluntary recalls when products pose an unreasonable risk of injury or death, aiming to protect the public from hazardous consumer products.
