Recall of XO Poppy Super Power 10,000 mAh Power Bank sold by TK Maxx

The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) published a product recall on 17 March 2026 for the XO Poppy Super Power 10,000 mAh Power Bank sold by TK Maxx, citing a risk of fire¹. The notice was issued by the OPSS and circulated by local authority trading standards, with Darlington Borough Council listing it on its product safety notices page dated 20 March 2026². TK Maxx has recalled the product from end users².

The recall covers three prints, swan, leopard and bow, under the model numbers PY-UKPBK10M-BW8, PY-UKPBK10M-LP1 and PY-UKPBK10M-SW3, with receipt and price ticket codes 014851, 014852 and 014853². The product is listed in the category electrical appliances and equipment, chargers, and the country of origin is given as China². The OPSS notification number is 2511-0117, and the notice states it was notified by local authority trading standards¹. No risk level is given on the GOV.UK notice, which records it as not provided¹.

The hazard is described as poor internal build quality, with wires soldered directly to the PCB with no secondary form of fixing, which could lead to connections becoming loose over time, causing the product to overheat and ignite, leading to a fire². The GOV.UK summary states the product presents a risk of fire as it can overheat during use¹. The notice says the product does not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulation 2005².

Why it matters for households

The recall affects households that bought one of these power banks from TK Maxx in any of the three prints. The OPSS advises owners to stop using the product immediately and return it to their nearest TK Maxx store for a full refund². The notice points to the TK Maxx recall page for more information². A power bank of this kind is commonly kept for charging phones during a power cut, so households that hold one as part of their emergency backup should check the model number and receipt or price ticket code against the recall list before relying on it. The OPSS notice does not give a date by which returns must be made, and no figure for the number of units sold in the UK has been reported.

TK Maxx has recalled the product from end users, and returns are handled through its stores². The GOV.UK notice carries the recall date of 17 March 2026 and the notification number 2511-0117¹. No further steps, deadlines or stock figures have been reported.
