One of China’s most popular portable power bank makers has recalled its products and halted operations, weeks after the country banned uncertified power banks on aircraft.
Romoss Technology has suspended production for six months after it was caught in a scandal over safety issues, according to Chinese media reports.
The company, based in Shenzhen, has also recalled nearly 490,000 power banks from three models made between June 2023 and July 2024 after metal debris in their battery cells was found to pose overheating risks.
Romoss notified employees it was suspending operations from 1 July and reportedly gave them a furlough of a monthly salary equal to 80 per cent of Shenzhen’s minimum wage
