Casely Power Pod Defect Class Action
Case Overview
Plaintiff Andrea Ayala initiated a class action lawsuit against Casely Inc., alleging that the company sold Power Pod power banks equipped with defective lithium-ion batteries that have the potential to overheat and ignite. The complaint further claims that Casely marketed these products as safe without disclosing the inherent defect, and that the company also charged a premium price for the power banks.
The legal claims brought forth include breach of warranty, unjust enrichment, and negligence, alongside violations of California consumer protection laws. Other related lawsuits have also pleaded these same claims, and all plaintiffs are demanding a jury trial to resolve the matter.
The lawsuit is currently active, with plaintiffs seeking a full cash refund, arguing that store credit or replacement units are insufficient compensation. Consumers who purchased a Power Pod for personal or household use, as well as those in California, are part of the class. Andrea Ayala is represented by Mark S. Reich and Michael N.
