Latest Harbor Freight Power Station Recall Updates

July 3, 2025: CPSC Announces the Power Station Recall

The CPSC announced a Fast Track recall covering about 6,500 power stations. They are the Predator 2000-Watt Power Station from Harbor Freight Tools [1]. Owners should return the units to a store for a free replacement. The company is contacting all known purchasers directly, according to RTT News [2].

Which Harbor Freight Power Station Units Are Affected?

The recall covers about 6,500 power stations of one model. Check your unit against these details:
  • Product: Predator 2000-Watt Power Station, one model made in China for Harbor Freight Tools.
  • SKU and UPC: SKU 70084 and UPC 193175488718, printed on labels affixed to the product or its packaging.
  • Look: red and black, with PREDATOR in large white letters on top of the front panel.
  • Front panel: 2000 Power Station is printed on the bottom of the front panel.

Why Was the Harbor Freight Power Station Recalled?

The power station was recalled because the wires in its AC outlet receptacles are reversed when the unit is in Emergency Power Supply (EPS) mode. CPSC says this poses a shock hazard to consumers operating the power station. Harbor Freight’s bulletin words the problem as a potential reverse polarity effect. It says this may present a shock hazard when the power station is used with certain appliances [3].

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

Harbor Freight Tools received one report of the wires being reversed in EPS mode. The CPSC notice says no injuries have been reported.

What Should Consumers Do?

Follow these steps if you own a Predator 2000-Watt Power Station:
  1. Check the labels on the unit or its packaging against the details above.
  2. Stop using the power station immediately, even if you have not experienced the hazard.
  3. Return it to your local Harbor Freight Tools store for a free replacement unit.
  4. Call Harbor Freight at 800-444-3353, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or email recall@harborfreight.com.
  5. Call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have questions about the recall.
If you were injured or your property was damaged by the recalled unit, you could ask a lawyer about an individual claim. No court case exists over this recall. Owning a recalled unit does not by itself make Harbor Freight liable or make you eligible for compensation. Before you return the unit, photograph it and its labels. Keep your receipt, medical records and replacement paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Other Harbor Freight Power Station Models Recalled?

Other Harbor Freight power station models are not recalled under this notice. The company’s bulletin states that other models of the power station are not impacted, so only the one item on the recalls page needs replacing.

What Outlets Does the Recalled Power Station Have?

The recalled power station has four AC outlets, three USB-C ports, three USB-A ports and one 12V DC outlet. CPSC says the units were made in China for Harbor Freight Tools.

What Products Are on the Harbor Freight Recall List?

The products on the Harbor Freight recall list include the Predator 2000 Watt Power Station and, separately, other tools such as the Bauer 20V Backpack Sprayer (#58671). Each entry on the recalls page links to its own bulletin.

Where Can I Report a Problem with My Power Station?

You can report a problem with your power station at SaferProducts.gov, the federal site where consumers can report a product problem. A report there is separate from the recall remedy, so you still return the unit to a store.
