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

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:

Phew...i've got a E1-01 and a E1-04. ;-)

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?

E1-01 and E1-03 here. Guess I'm fine

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.
