Latest Baseus 65W 30000mAh Portable Chargers Recall Updates

May 1, 2025: CPSC Announces Recall

Baseus and its manufacturer, Shenzhen Baseus Technology Co., Ltd., recalled about 55,380 chargers, model BS-30KP365, sold since April 2020. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on May 1, 2025. The CPSC recall notice cites 76 incident reports involving the charger [1]. Of those, 72 were reports of battery bulging, and four were reports of fire, including three with property damage.

Which Baesus Power Banks Are Affected?

The recall covers one Baseus power bank model. Check your charger for these details:
  • Model number BS-30KP365, printed on the bottom label
  • Serial number ending in 0 through 9, or the letter D, also on the bottom label
  • Black or white color, with “65W” printed on the front
  • Sold at Amazon.com, AliExpress.com, Walmart.com, and Baseus.com from April 2020 through April 2025
A replacement charger carries a serial number ending in the letter A. Those units are not part of this recall. Baseus sold the recalled charger for $39 to $90 during that period. If your model number or serial number matches the recall, stop using it immediately.

Why Were the Baesus Power Banks Recalled?

Baseus recalled the 65W 30000mAh Portable Charger because its lithium-ion battery can overheat and catch fire. The CPSC’s recall notice does not describe a specific manufacturing defect beyond this risk. Overheating can cause the battery to swell, catch fire, or damage property. The CPSC opened the case as Recall Number 25-248 on May 1, 2025. The recall remains open and covers every charger matching the recalled model and serial range. Consumers should stop using an affected charger even if it has shown no problems. The hazard applies to every unit in the recalled range, not only those that have overheated.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

Baseus received 76 incident reports tied to the recalled charger, including reports of battery bulging and fire. The notice lists 72 bulging reports and four fire reports, three of which also involved property damage. The 76 reports are Baseus’s own submissions to the CPSC. They are not confirmed injuries or deaths. The CPSC’s notice cites them as the basis for the recall. Anyone who believes a Baseus charger caused an injury or property damage can report it to the CPSC directly, or contact Baseus with those details. The CPSC hotline also has a TTY line, 800-638-8270, for callers who are hearing impaired.

What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers who own an affected Baseus charger should take these steps:
  1. Stop using the charger right away and unplug it from any device.
  2. Do not throw the charger in the trash or curbside recycling.
  3. Take the charger to a municipal household hazardous waste collection center. Call ahead to confirm the center accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries.
  4. Contact Baseus for a free replacement charger, with a new serial number ending in “A”.
  5. Submit a photo of the charger’s model number and serial number through Baseus’s recall registration page [2].
  6. Confirm disposal of the old charger as Baseus requires, to receive the replacement.
  7. Call Baseus toll-free at 888-568-7216, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, or email care@baseus.com with questions.
  8. Report the hazard to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov, or call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Australia’s Product Safety Australia recalled the same Baseus charger on May 23, 2025 [3]. Sales in Australia ran from August 2020 to December 2024. Baseus’s refund page for Australian owners offers up to AUD 78 [4]. No proof of purchase is required. This plan differs from the free US replacement. No lawsuit has been filed against Baseus over this charger. No class action or MDL case exists either. This recall does not automatically establish liability. A charger that overheated, caught fire, or damaged property in one of the 76 incidents Baseus reported to the CPSC may support an individual legal claim. Only an independent legal review can confirm whether a specific claim is possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is There a Filing Deadline for This Recall?

A filing deadline for a claim over this recall comes from state law. It varies by where you live and when the injury or damage and its diagnosis happened, and missing it can end a claim, so contact a lawyer promptly.

Does the Recall Cover Chargers Bought from a Reseller?

The CPSC’s recall notice does not specifically address chargers bought from a reseller. It defines the recall by the charger’s model number and serial number, so a matching unit is covered by those identifiers, regardless of who sold it or where it was purchased.

Can I Get a Refund Instead of a Replacement Charger?

The CPSC notice’s remedy section lists only a free replacement charger for U.S. owners, with no refund listed as an option. Baseus’s separate Australian recall offers a refund up to AUD 78 without a receipt, but that plan does not cover chargers recalled in the United States.

Do I Need a Receipt to Get My Baseus Charger Replaced?

You do not need a receipt to get your Baseus charger replaced. Baseus instead asks for a picture of your charger’s identifying numbers when you register for the free replacement.

Has Anyone Died from a Recalled Baseus Power Bank?

No, no deaths have been reported from this Baseus power bank recall. The CPSC’s notice describes reports of battery bulging and fire, including property damage, but does not list any fatalities among them.
