Belkin International recalled its Auto-Tracking Stand Pro (model MMA008) and BoostCharge USB-C PD Power Bank 20K (models BPB002 and PB0003). The CPSC announced the voluntary recall on November 13, 2025.

A manufacturing defect can cause the lithium-ion battery cells to overheat, posing fire and burn hazards to users. The recall covers about 83,500 units in the United States and about 2,385 in Canada.

No CPSC closure or termination notice has been found, so the recall remains open. Consumers who own an affected power bank or stand should stop using it right away and contact Belkin for a full refund or store credit.

November 13, 2025: CPSC and Belkin Announce Power Bank Recall

On November 13, 2025, Belkin and the CPSC announced a voluntary recall of two power bank models and one charging stand. The recall spans roughly 83,500 units in the United States, plus about 2,385 in Canada.

Lithium-ion battery cells in the recalled units can overheat. This creates fire and burn hazards for users. No CPSC closure notice has been issued, so the recall remains open.

Which Belkin Power Banks Are Affected?

Belkin names three products in its own recall guidance, the only items covered by CPSC Recall #26-090:

  • Auto-Tracking Stand Pro (MMA008) – all units sold, model number printed on the back or side of the device
  • BoostCharge USB-C PD Power Bank 20K (BPB002) – all units sold, model number printed on the back or side of the device
  • BoostCharge USB-C PD Power Bank 20K (PB0003) – all units sold, model number printed on the back or side of the device

Belkin sold these products through Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Amazon.com, TikTok and Belkin.com between August 2020 and August 2025, at prices from about $29 to $180.

Why Were Belkin Power Banks Recalled?

Belkin recalled the Auto-Tracking Stand Pro and the BoostCharge USB-C PD Power Bank 20K because a manufacturing defect can make their lithium-ion battery cells overheat. The overheating can cause the devices to catch fire or burn the people using them.

Belkin describes the cause in its own words, in the recall notice it filed with the CPSC: “a manufacturing defect may cause the products’ lithium-ion cell components to overheat.”

The defect affects every unit sold under the Auto-Tracking Stand Pro and BoostCharge USB-C PD Power Bank 20K, regardless of when it was purchased. This is CPSC Recall #26-090, announced jointly by Belkin and the CPSC.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

The Verge reported that CPSC’s notice lists one US fire tied to a recalled power bank [1]. Outside the United States, Belkin and CPSC received 15 reports, including two minor burns and about $37,765 in property damage.

The CPSC notice does not list any deaths connected to this recall. These figures reflect reports collected before the recall was announced on November 13, 2025. A report of an incident is not proof that a specific device caused it.

These incident reports are separate from the manufacturing defect that Belkin and the CPSC cite as the reason for the recall. No injuries beyond these reports have been confirmed as caused by the defect.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Belkin issued an earlier, separate recall on December 5, 2024, for a different product [3]. That recall, CPSC #25-061, covered about 4,000 BoostCharge Pro Fast Wireless Charger units in the United States and 62 in Canada.

It involved model BPD005, a wireless charger and power bank combination. The hazard was the same general type: a lithium-ion battery that could overheat. Belkin offered a full refund or store credit for that recall too.

How Important Is It to Preserve My Recalled Power Bank as Evidence?

Preserving your recalled power bank as evidence can matter if you decide to pursue a legal claim later. Keep the device, its original packaging, your purchase receipt or order confirmation, and any photos of damage in a safe place until you speak with a lawyer.

Is There a Deadline to File a Claim Related to a Defective Power Bank?

Yes, there is a deadline to file a claim related to a defective power bank, and it comes from state law. The deadline varies based on where you live and when the fire, burn, or property damage happened. A lawyer can confirm the deadline that applies to your situation.

Can Renters or Homeowners File a Claim for Fire Damage from a Recalled Power Bank?

Renters and homeowners may each be able to seek compensation for fire or property damage caused by a recalled power bank. Whether you may bring a claim depends on your lease, insurance, and other circumstances, so only an individual legal review can confirm who qualifies.
