If you were at Glastonbury Festival in the summer, chances are that you were handed a free Power Bar to keep your phone charged. Now, the items are being recalled due to a fault that could cause a risk of fire.
Thousands of the bars were handed out at Glasto 2016, where the phone company also had a charging tent and built the festival's app.
In the wider world, one million power bars were requested by EE customers within just four days of them being offered for free to all EE, Orange and T Mobile customers. Now, EE urge urging everyone to stop using the device straight away, unplug it from the mains and hand it into an EE store - where you may be eligible for a £20 voucher.
"We are taking this action because we are aware of a very small number of further incidents where Power Bars have overheated in circumstances that could cause a fire safety risk," say EE. "Keeping our customers safe is extremely important to us, and that’s why we’re taking this voluntary and precautionary action."
Glastonbury Festival is set to take place from 22 - 26 June. Muse have been named as bookies' favourites to headline, after the band teased that they are 'hoping to' perform next year. Foo Fighters were reportedly booked to appear in 2016 - after pulling out of their performance this summer due to Dave Grohl breaking his leg.
Meanwhile, Adele and Coldplay are also favourites to headline, alongside Foo Fighters and Coldplay - while Rod Stewart and Leo Sayer have also voiced their ambitions to appear.
