On Thursday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued several recalls. There was a recall warning on about 481,000 Anker portable power banks. The reason for the recall was because of fire and burn hazards.<\/p>\n The other product that was recalled was about 11,200 EnHomee 13-drawer fabric dressers.
