About 190,000 portable chargers were recalled as of Thursday due to a risk of catching fire, according to the CPSC, which suggested immediately halting use.

The fire hazard they potentially present stems from a "manufacturing condition" that could cause some to overheat to the point of ignition, the company said on its website.

While on an airplane, one of the recalled chargers, which all have the model number "OD-B7," experienced the issue, leading to a fire. Four flight attendants working on the flight inhaled enough smoke that they had to go to a hospital, according to the CPSC alert.
