FENGQS E-bike Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

FENGQS F7 Pro e-bikes are under a voluntary recall because their lithium-ion battery can overheat and ignite, posing fire and burn hazards. CPSC first warned consumers to stop using the e-bikes on June 18, 2025. CPSC then announced the formal recall, No. 25-403, on July 24, 2025. The recall covers blue FENGQS F7 Pro e-bikes with batteries dated April 21, 2024. They sold online during 2024. FENGQS has received reports of the battery igniting, detailed in Reported Incidents below. Consumers should stop riding the e-bike immediately, remove the battery, and follow FENGQS’s refund and disposal instructions. CPSC lists the recall as open.

Latest FENGQS E-Bikes Recall Updates

July 24, 2025: CPSC Recalls FENGQS F7 Pro E-Bikes

The CPSC announced a voluntary recall, No. 25-403, of about 100 FENGQS F7 Pro e-bikes on July 24, 2025 [1]. CPSC’s notice cites the battery’s overheating risk as the reason for the recall. CPSC’s notice also logged ignition reports and fire-related damage, detailed in Reported Incidents below. FENGQS is offering a full refund to owners who mark, photograph, and properly dispose of the recalled battery.

June 18, 2025: CPSC Warns Consumers to Stop Using FENGQS F7 Pro E-Bikes

CPSC first warned consumers to immediately stop using FENGQS F7 Pro e-bikes on June 18, 2025, after the manufacturer refused an acceptable recall [2]. CPSC had by then logged fire reports and property losses, covered in Reported Incidents. About 180 of the e-bikes had been sold by that date. CPSC’s formal recall replaced this warning five weeks later, adding the recall number 25-403.

Which FENGQS E-Bikes Are Affected?

A FENGQS F7 Pro e-bike is included in the recall if it matches the identifiers CPSC published in its recall notice:

• Blue frame, with “FENGQS” printed on the downtube
• Model number “F7 Pro” printed on the chain stay near the rear wheel
• Battery capacity 21.5Ah, printed on a label on the front of the battery
• Battery production date 2024/4/21 (April 21, 2024), printed on the same label
• Sold on Amazon.com from May through December 2024, priced $700 to $1,200

About 100 of these e-bikes were recalled on July 24, 2025. A CPSC warning issued five weeks earlier, on June 18, had put the number sold at about 180, before the manufacturer agreed to the recall terms. Owners who cannot find the battery’s production date on the label should contact FENGQS directly rather than guess whether their e-bike is covered.

Why Were the FENGQS E-Bikes Recalled?

FENGQS F7 Pro e-bikes were recalled because the battery inside them can grow hot enough to ignite, creating a serious burn risk for riders. CPSC’s recall notice separates the defect, the battery’s tendency to overheat, from the injuries and property damage the defect has been linked to. CPSC first raised the hazard in a June 18, 2025 warning. The manufacturer, Shenzhen Fengqisi Car Industry Co., Ltd., had refused to agree to an acceptable recall at that point. FENGQS agreed to the voluntary recall, No. 25-403, that CPSC finalized on July 24, 2025, offering refunds once the battery is disabled and disposed of through a hazardous-waste program. Neither CPSC document explains the technical cause of the overheating.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

FENGQS’s July 24, 2025 recall notice reports 13 reports of the F7 Pro’s battery igniting. Two of those incidents caused fires with a combined $4,000 in property damage. CPSC’s earlier June 18, 2025 warning had counted nine fire reports and $12,000 in property damage. CPSC collected these counts directly, rather than through the manufacturer. Both notices describe fire and burn hazards. Neither breaks the incidents down by injury type, so the record does not show how many involved a burn rather than property damage alone. Neither the 13-report nor the 9-report figure proves every FENGQS F7 Pro battery will fail the same way. Each count only reflects what CPSC had logged by that date.

What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers who own a recalled FENGQS F7 Pro e-bike should take the following steps:

1. Stop riding the e-bike and stop charging or using the battery immediately
2. Remove the battery from the e-bike and keep it away from anything flammable
3. Write your name, the word “recalled,” and the current date next to the battery’s production date with a permanent marker
4. Photograph the marked battery and email the photo to recall@fengqs.work
5. Take the battery to a municipal household hazardous waste collection center for disposal, never a curbside recycling bin or the trash
6. Contact FENGQS at 607-307-2127 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday) or www.fengqs.com/pages/recalls to arrange the refund, or report an incident to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov

Legal Options

No lawsuit has been filed against FENGQS over the F7 Pro recall, and no multidistrict litigation has formed. The federal judicial panel’s pending-MDL list carries no FENGQS or e-bike-battery docket [3]. Several law firms market free case evaluations for owners with a fire, burn, or property-damage incident, but the matter is only at an attorney-investigation stage. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. Owners who were hurt or suffered property damage may want a lawyer to review the facts of their own case.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the FENGQS F7 Pro E-Bike Recall Still Active?

Yes, the FENGQS F7 Pro e-bike recall is still active. As of September 24, 2026, CPSC had not said its July 24, 2025 recall had been completed or ended.

What Should I Do If My FENGQS E-Bike Battery Caught Fire?

If your FENGQS e-bike battery caught fire, move everyone away from it immediately and stop using it for good. Photograph the damage, then follow the recall’s mark-and-dispose steps before contacting FENGQS for your refund. Report the incident to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov.

Do I Need a Lawyer to Get My FENGQS Refund?

No, you do not need a lawyer to get your FENGQS refund. CPSC’s recall process runs directly through the manufacturer, so a lawyer is not required to request one. A lawyer becomes relevant only if you want a fire, burn, or property-damage claim reviewed separately.

Should I Follow the Earlier CPSC Warning or the Later Recall Notice?

Follow the later recall notice instead of the earlier CPSC warning. It replaced the warning once FENGQS agreed to the recall terms, so its instructions are the ones to use for your refund now.

Does the FENGQS Recall Cover E-Bikes Bought Outside the United States?

The FENGQS recall covers e-bikes CPSC’s notice describes as sold on Amazon.com in the United States. The notice does not name a separate international sales channel. Owners elsewhere can still contact FENGQS directly at www.fengqs.com/pages/recalls to ask about their e-bike.

Is There a Deadline to Claim My FENGQS Refund?

CPSC’s recall notice does not set a deadline for requesting a refund from FENGQS, and consumers can still request one at any time. CPSC’s instruction to stop using the e-bike immediately still applies while you wait to request your refund.
