Latest Goal Zero YETI 3000X Power Station Lawsuit Updates
September 11, 2026: Health Canada Lists the Recall
Health Canada posted recall notice RA-82608 for the Goal Zero YETI 3000X, last updated that day [1]. The notice says the circuit board can overheat, creating fire and burn risks.
The company reported 509 units sold in Canada from May 2020 to August 2025. As of August 31, 2026, it had received no reports of incidents or injury in Canada.
September 11, 2026: California Issues a Memo to Consumers
The California Department of Developmental Services sent a memo to regional center consumers [2]. Nearly 600 people received the YETI 3000X through the Disability Disaster Access and Resources Program since 2021.
The memo tells them to follow the Goal Zero recall steps. It says the unit may overheat, posing a risk of serious burn injury and fire hazard.
August 20, 2026: CPSC and Goal Zero Announce Recall
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Goal Zero announced CPSC recall 26-712 [3]. The recall covers YETI 3000X power stations whose circuit board can overheat. Goal Zero received four reports of overheating, fire and smoking.
Who May Be Affected?
Owners of a Goal Zero YETI 3000X bought during the recall’s sales period may be affected. It was sold at REI stores, Costco, Backcountry.com and Goalzero.com, according to Gizmodo [4].
A unit may still need the firmware update even if it appears to work. Whether you have a legal claim depends on your own facts and needs an individual legal review.
Reported Injuries or Damages
No injuries have been reported for the YETI 3000X. The September 2025 CPSC warning on Aeiusny covered 400W and 500W power stations from another company, not Goal Zero. CPSC had 24 reports of fires and explosions [5].
Three of those reports described smoke inhalation and burn injuries that needed medical attention. Ten reports described property damage of approximately $450,000.
Recall and Regulatory Background
CPSC recall 26-712 is an open voluntary recall announced August 20, 2026. The hazard is a circuit board that can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards.
Owners fix the unit with a free update to its firmware in the Goal Zero app. Owners who cannot complete it can request support from Goal Zero.
Goal Zero recalled its Yeti 25A Fast Charge power supplies on December 9, 2020. A recall does not prove liability.
Evidence to Preserve
Keep these items if your power station overheated, smoked or caught fire:
- The unit itself, with its serial number or model label
- Your receipt or order confirmation
- Photographs of damage, smoke, burn or char marks
- The firmware version shown on the display
- Emails, letters or call notes from Goal Zero and CPSC
- Medical records if anyone was hurt
- Repair bills and property-damage estimates
Do not repair, discard or alter the unit before you speak with a lawyer, because the unit itself is the best record.
Filing Deadlines
Filing deadlines come from state law. They depend on where you live and when the injury or damage happened. Missing a deadline can end a claim even if the facts are strong.
Check with a lawyer promptly if your YETI 3000X caused harm to you or your property. Acting early keeps your options open.
