product recall

Portable power bank company Roman has suspended operations and placed employees on indefinite leave, citing a massive product recall of over 490,000 units due to a defect causing potential overheating and fire hazards. Employees, some having worked extensive overtime, feel abandoned and unpaid. The company’s online store has removed all power banks, focusing only on accessories. Despite denying bankruptcy rumors, these actions signal significant challenges for the former market leader.

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. The company states this is a normal organizational restructuring, and the recall program, offering replacements or refunds, remains active.
