IKEA urges all customers who own a VARMFRONT power bank 10400 mAh (model number E2038) with date stamp (YYWW) 2313, 2316, 2318 or 2319, or a VARMFRONT power bank 5200 mAh (model number E2037) with date stamp (YYWW) 2318, 2319 or 2322, to immediately stop using it and contact IKEA for a replacement product, or a full refund.

IKEA products are risk assessed and thoroughly tested to make sure that they can withstand the tough test of everyday life at home, and that they comply with applicable requirements and regulations in all markets where IKEA operates.

Despite this, it has come to our attention that certain VARMFRONT power banks may pose a fire safety risk, due to a manufacturing error. This error is isolated to units with the before-mentioned date stamps. Therefore, these VARMFRONT power banks are being recalled. Customers who own such a product should immediately stop using it and contact IKEA for a replacement product, or a full refund.

Example with the date stamp (YYWW) highlighted in red.

VARMFRONT power banks with other date stamps are not affected by this recall.

VARMFRONT power banks with affected date stamps can be returned to any IKEA store for a replacement product, or a full refund. Proof of purchase (receipt) is not required.

For more information, please contact the IKEA Customer Contact Centre at 03-7952 7575. 

IKEA apologizes for any inconvenience this recall may cause.
