The June 12, 2025 recall covers about 1,158,000 units of the plain PowerCore 10000, model A1263 only.
What to check. A buyer or owner of the A1246 PD Redux should not assume it is covered by this recall; the recall is limited to model A1263.
Reported on: cpsc.gov
An Amazon Japan customer review reports using the PowerCore 10000 PD Redux 25W (the A1246 family) continuously for 6 hours while powering a 12V fan, observing almost no heat from the cable, with the power bank itself being the warmer component.
What to check. Single-user anecdote, not a systematic test. It suggests normal thermal behavior for this model under continuous moderate load, but does not rule out long-term degradation or manufacturing defects.

Kriko reads a listing and tells you which of these apply to that exact product. It runs on your computer, needs no account and is free.
These reports come from the pages linked under each item: owner forums, repair guides and workshops. They are not a diagnosis of any one unit, and a careful check of the one you are buying still applies.
