The StopBox USA AR-15 Chamber Lock Pro firearm lock was recalled because it can be forcibly removed. That could give unauthorized or unintended access to the firearm.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the Fast Track recall on September 4, 2025. About 300 locks shipped from June 2 to July 15, 2025. The refund or replacement offer is open to every lock in that window.
Owners should stop using the lock, secure the firearm by other means and contact StopBox USA for a prepaid return label. No lawsuit, class action or MDL has been filed over the product, and CPSC reports no incidents or injuries.
Latest Stopbox Recall Updates
September 4, 2025: CPSC Announces Fast Track Recall
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Fast Track recall 25-458 of about 300 AR-15 Chamber Lock Pro firearm locks [1]. StopBox USA offers owners a refund or a replacement with a prepaid return label [2].
Which Stopbox Are Affected?
The recall covers one product. Owners find the shipping date by contacting StopBox USA. These details help you match your lock to the recall:
- Product: the AR-15 Chamber Lock Pro firearm lock
- Maker: StopBox USA of Spokane Valley, Washington
- Shipping window: shipped between June 2 and July 15, 2025
- Material and colors: anodized aluminum machined parts, sold in red and black
- Controls: five buttons on the lock
- Marking: StopBox “S” logo and “CHAMBER LOCK PRO AR-15” laser etched on the back
Why Was Stopbox Recalled?
Stopbox was recalled because a manufacturing defect lets the lock be forcibly removed. That opens the way to unauthorized or unintended access to the firearm. CPSC calls it a risk of serious injury or death.
StopBox says the problem came from a change in CNC fixturing. The change hit a precision milling step. The tight tolerances hid the defect at first.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
CPSC reports no incidents or injuries tied to the recalled locks, which shipped from June 2 to July 15, 2025 [3].
What Should Consumers Do?
Follow these steps if you own an AR-15 Chamber Lock Pro:
- Stop using the recalled lock immediately and secure your firearm by other means.
- Check with StopBox USA whether your lock falls in the recalled shipping window.
- Contact StopBox USA at 877-919-4637, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday, or email support@stopboxusa.com.
- Ask for a prepaid return shipping label and return instructions.
- Return the lock for a full refund or a replacement AR-15 Chamber Lock Pro.
- Report a remedy problem or an unsafe product through CPSC’s Recall Complaint form, SaferProducts.gov or the hotline at 800-638-2772.
Legal Options
If a recalled lock harmed you, keep the product, your purchase records and your medical records. A recall does not automatically mean the maker is liable. A lawyer can tell you if a product-liability claim fits your facts.

What Does the Stopbox Lock Do?
