ROMOSS will temporarily halt production and operations for six months starting July 7, 2025, following a recall of nearly 500,000 power banks due to potential overheating risks from batterycell raw materials.

Resale markets are seeing a surge in “airport-intercepted” power banks sold cheaply. This follows a CAAC directive restricting non-3C certified or recalled power banks on domestic flights.

Effective June 28th, China implemented new regulations on power banks for domestic flights. Devices lacking 3C certification, with unclear markings, or recalled models, are prohibited. Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport is actively enforcing the rules with inspection stations, disposal bins, and informational materials.

Authorities are clarifying the misunderstanding among travelers. Airport security is increasing inspection, and additional charging stations are planned.
