The article doesn't show pictures of the unit itself, focusing on the CT scan, so here's the recall notice: https://www.anker.com/a1263-recall


That link is redirecting to the home page


It's taking me to the recall page, not sure why it's not working for you.

See also the CPSC link:

https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2025/More-than-One-Million-Anke...

(Notably, this page mentions "Anker has received 19 reports of fires and explosions. This includes two reports of minor burn injuries not requiring medical attention and 11 reports of property damage totaling over $60,700." Puts it into context! That's not a house, but with numbers like that, I wonder if a couple cars were destroyed.)

There's also Anker's product recalls main page:

https://www.anker.com/product-recalls

which adds a few other models with different enclosures but presumably with the same upstream manufacturer to the recall.


Anker is very bad at handling country/region redirects correctly. If you're not located in the region the link is pointing at, they'll just redirect you to the home page of whatever region they think you should be looking at.

This is really annoying when trying to find product information because, for example, the Anker Nordics site doesn't have product pages for all the products they sell in Europe, but they won't let you look at product pages from other regions without some VPN shenanigans.


Works for me from the US; it may depend on what region you're in.
