Rechargeable Power Banks Recalled For Possible Fire Risk

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y. (CBS) -- A phone and tablet charger for kids from American fashion designer Betsey Johnson may be a fire risk.

The chargers that look like emojis, unicorns, rainbows and other kid-friendly shapes were sold at Kohl's and Burlington Coat Factory stores for about $25. More than 170,000 are being recalled.

The "universal rechargeable power banks" may overheat.

There are three reports of the charger overheating, and at least one is blamed for causing a house fire.
