    Only those marked Model No E1-06 are affected. Received a text from EE this morning.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    If your power bar says 'Model no: E1-06', you should stop using it and return it to your nearest EE store...

    As good news as that is, I'm not sure how it is relevant :money:

    and I've got a E1-06. So I'll get a £20 voucher...might trade that in for a bluetooth speaker then sell the speaker on. Anyone else have any other suggestions with the £20 voucher?

    I have an E1-05, and it gets very hot (almost too hot to hold)when charging my iphone from it. I'm going to stop using it, and return it to EE, see what they say.

    I have never swapped it. A mobile addict could have done all sorts of nasty things with a the Power Bar. It could have been used like a rolling pin to crush cocaine, and I could get arrested by drug sniffing police dogs.
