What’s the Problem?
On November 13, 2025, Belkin announced a voluntary recall of certain portable power banks and wireless charging stands because the lithium-ion batteries in those devices can overheat, posing serious fire and burn hazards to consumers. [1]
The recall covers approximately 83,500 units sold in the U.S. (with about 2,385 more in Canada) of models: “BPB002” and “PB0003” power banks and “MMA008” wireless charging stands. [2]
The hazard has already resulted in one fire incident in the U.S. and fifteen internationally, along with two minor burn injuries and property damage totaling approximately $37,765. [1]
Latest Updates
- November 13, 2025 – Belkin issues recall notice via the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, identifying the hazard and specifying model numbers and serial-number ranges. [1]
- November 14–15, 2025 – Media reports highlight the large scale of the recall (over 80,000 units) and advise consumers to stop using the affected devices immediately. [3]
- Mid-November 2025 – Retailers including Best Buy, Target, Walmart and Amazon are contacted to flag affected stock; consumers are advised to submit refund or store-credit claims through Belkin’s website. [4]
Product & Usage Overview
The recall affects Belkin portable power banks and wireless charging stands that carry model numbers “BPB002”, “PB0003”, and “MMA008”.
The BPB002 and PB0003 power banks were sold between August 2020 and August 2025 for prices ranging approximately $29 to $180, through major retailers (Best Buy, Target, Walmart) and online (Belkin.com, Amazon, TikTok).
The MMA008 wireless charging stand was also included, manufactured in Vietnam (MMA008) and China (BPB002/PB0003).
Because these products are designed to charge typically via lithium-ion batteries and are used in home or mobile settings, the overheating risk poses a direct hazard when used for everyday charging of phones, tablets or other devices.
Injuries & Side Effects
- Fire and burn damage: The CPSC reports one U.S. fire incident and multiple international incidents linked to the recalled units.
- Minor burn injuries: Two minor burn injuries have been reported internationally as a result of the overheating units.
- Property damage: Product failures are linked to property damage amounting to around $37,765 in international claims, illustrating the real-world harm.
Do You Qualify for a Belkin Power Bank Recall Lawsuit?
You may qualify if you:
- Purchased one of the affected Belkin models (BPB002, PB0003 or MMA008) between August 2020 and August 2025.
- Experienced a failure event (overheating, smoke, fire) or suffered personal injury, burn damage or property loss linked to the product.
- Have documentation: proof of purchase, serial number/model plate, recall notice, photos of the device and any damage or injuries.
- Acted within your state’s statute of limitations—early consultation is important.
Evidence You Should Gather
- Photos of the product showing model number and serial number on the back or bottom of the device.
- Receipt or bank statement showing purchase of the unit.
- Documentation of incident: photos/videos of overheating device, smoke/fire damage, burns or property loss.
- Recall notice or communications with Belkin regarding your device.
- Medical records if you were injured, and repair/insurance records if your property was damaged.
Damages You Can Recover
Possible recoverable damages include:
- Product replacement: Cost of device and related accessories or disposal expense.
- Property repair/replacement: Costs associated with fire damage to home, furniture, electronics or other property.
- Medical expenses: Treatment for burns or related injuries, follow-up care.
- Lost wages or reduced earning capacity if injury prevented normal work.
- Pain and suffering: Physical pain, emotional distress, permanent scarring or impairment.
While no major class-action lawsuit has yet been widely reported specifically for Belkin’s recall, law firms are beginning to accept claim inquiries as more incidents unfold.
Legal Theories & Liability Grounds
Potential legal claims may include:
- Defective product: The lithium-ion cells in the recalled models failed and posed a foreseeable risk of fire and burn.
- Negligence: Belkin and/or its suppliers may have failed to ensure safe battery design, manufacturing or quality control.
- Failure to warn: Consumers may not have been adequately warned of the risk or given timely recall information.
- Strict product liability: As a product placed in the stream of commerce, the recalled devices may be subject to liability even without proof of negligence.
- Breach of warranty: The devices were marketed as safe consumer-electronics accessories but posed a dangerous fire hazard.
Statute of Limitations & Timing
Product liability, personal injury and property damage claims generally carry one to three-year filing deadlines depending on the state and when the harm was discovered. Because the recall was announced in November 2025, you should act promptly to preserve evidence such as the device, installation location, serial numbers, purchase records and any incident documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can I still file a case if I just experienced overheating but no fire?
Yes — if you owned one of the recalled Belkin devices and documented an overheating event or smoke, you may qualify even if no full fire occurred. - Is this a class action lawsuit?
Not yet — but attorneys may consolidate individual claims into a multi-plaintiff case as new data surfaces. - What should I do with the product if I still have it?
Stop using it immediately, keep all packaging/serial number information, and contact Belkin for refund or store-credit information. Do not dispose of the device in ordinary trash or recycling because the lithium-ion battery may still pose a fire hazard. [1]
Why You Should Act Now
The Belkin recall represents a serious risk of fire or burn damage in everyday devices that many consumers use daily. If you owned one of the recalled units, experienced damage, injury or near-failure—and still have the documentation—you should consult an experienced attorney now to protect your position, preserve key evidence and strengthen your potential claim.
