INSIGNIA Power Banks
In June 2020, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Best Buy for allegedly falsely advertising the amount of power that INSIGNIA power banks have to transfer to other electronic devices by representing that the milliampere-hours (mAh) of the power banks is higher than it actually is. (Robinson et al v. Best Buy Co., Inc., Case No. 20-cv-1470, D. Minn.)
