Wyze Camera Lawsuit Update: Injuries, Recall Status, and Legal Options

The Wyze Solar Cam Pan security camera, model WYZESCPWH, is under an open recall the CPSC announced June 4, 2026, with Wyze Labs, Inc. It covers cameras where the wrong screw attached the solar panel. That wrong screw can pierce the battery casing inside the camera, raising the risk of overheating, fire, or burns to the user or nearby property. Wyze Labs and the CPSC have classified it as a serious fire and burn hazard. Owners of an affected camera should stop using it right away, check the model number, and contact Wyze Labs for a free replacement, refund, or gift card.

June 4, 2026: CPSC and Wyze Labs Announce Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, working with Wyze Labs, Inc., announced a voluntary recall of about 321,360 Wyze Solar Cam Pan cameras in the United States, plus 2,562 more in Canada [1]. The recall followed multiple consumer reports of the cameras overheating, catching fire, or causing burns. Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses below has the full count. Wyze is offering a free replacement, a refund, or a gift card.

Which Wyze Cameras Are Affected?

The recall covers one specific Wyze security camera, identified by the details below:

• Product: Wyze Solar Cam Pan security camera
• Model number: WYZESCPWH, printed on the back of the camera
• Color: White
• What makes a unit affected: The camera was assembled with the long, flat-head wall-mount screw in place of the short pan-head panel screw
• Sold at: Home Depot, Amazon, Best Buy, Micro Center, Temu, and wyze.com, from October 2025 through April 2026, for about $80

Owners can confirm whether their camera is affected by checking the model number and the type of screw used during installation. Canada’s product-safety regulator issued a matching recall notice for 2,562 more units sold there [2]. The recall also covers roughly 321,360 units sold in the United States.

Why Were Wyze Cameras Recalled?

Wyze cameras were recalled because the Solar Cam Pan’s assembly instructions could lead consumers to attach the solar panel with the wrong screw. That long, flat-head screw can puncture the lithium-ion battery’s casing, instead of the correct short screw. Once punctured, the battery can rapidly overheat, posing a risk of serious injury or property damage from fire and burn hazards. The mix-up happens because the camera ships with two similar screws: a short one for the solar panel, and a longer, flat-head one for wall-mounting. Wyze and the CPSC identified the hazard from consumer reports of overheating, fires, and burns. The CPSC processed it as a Fast Track Recall, the recall type its notice records for this action.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

Wyze has received 13 consumer reports of the recalled cameras overheating in the United States. Of those, six cameras exploded or caught fire, and six reports described consumers suffering minor burns. No deaths have been reported. As of May 5, 2026, Canada’s product-safety regulator had received no reports of incidents or injuries there. Canada’s own regulator notice, current only as of May 5, 2026, recorded an earlier count of 12 U.S. reports and five burns. The CPSC’s June 4 notice carries the newer total of 13 reports, six fires, and six burns. These figures reflect what Wyze and the agencies had received as of their notices. A report of overheating, a fire, or a burn does not alone prove that one camera caused one injury. Anyone burned or whose property was damaged by a recalled camera should keep records of what happened. Save any medical or repair costs too.

What Should Consumers Do?

Owners of a Wyze Solar Cam Pan camera covered by this recall should take the following steps right away to stay safe:

1. Stop using the recalled camera immediately.
2. Check the model number identified above.
3. Confirm at wyze.com/SCPrecall whether the long screw was used to attach the solar panel.
4. Choose a free replacement camera and solar panel, a full refund, or a gift card from Wyze.
5. Dispose of the recalled camera and its lithium-ion battery through a household hazardous-waste collection center, never in household trash or curbside recycling.
6. Contact Wyze Labs at 888-832-7226 (8 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday) or recall@wyze.com with questions, or report an incident to the CPSC at SaferProducts.gov.

Legal Options

So far, no lawsuit, class action, or multidistrict case has been filed for this recall. A federal registry of pending multidistrict cases, checked in September 2026, lists none for it [3]. A consumer with a burn injury or property damage from an affected camera may have a product-liability claim to raise with a lawyer. The recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. Only an individual legal review can confirm whether a claim is worth pursuing.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for filing a product-liability claim after this recall generally come from state law rather than the recall notice itself, and they depend on where you live and when the fire, burn, or property damage happened. Missing a deadline can end a claim even when the facts are strong, so anyone considering a claim should speak with a lawyer promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is There a Wyze Camera Recall Lawsuit?

No Wyze camera recall lawsuit has been filed. The JPML’s public docket lists no pending case for it, as Legal Options explains. A claim would generally need proof the camera caused a burn or property loss, plus proof the panel was installed with the incorrect screw.

What Should I Do with the Battery from a Recalled Wyze Camera?

The battery from a recalled Wyze camera should go to a household hazardous-waste collection center rather than the trash or curbside recycling bins. Wyze requires owners to attest that they disposed of it this way before it issues the replacement, refund, or gift card.

How Can I Reach the CPSC About the Wyze Camera Recall?

You can reach the CPSC about the Wyze camera recall online at SaferProducts.gov or by calling its hotline, 800-638-2772. This is separate from Wyze Labs’ own contact number for arranging a replacement, refund, or gift card.

Who Imports the Recalled Wyze Solar Cam Pan?

Wyze Labs, Inc., based in Kirkland, Washington, imports the recalled Wyze Solar Cam Pan camera into the United States. The CPSC’s recall notice lists China as the camera’s country of manufacture, separate from Wyze Labs’ role as the U.S. importer.

Where Else Was the Recalled Wyze Solar Cam Pan Sold?

The recalled Wyze Solar Cam Pan was also sold through two secondary online sellers the CPSC’s recall notice names alongside the main retailers: B2B Renew, Inc. and ReturnPro. The same wyze.com remedy process applies to units bought from either site.

Does This Recall Cover Every Wyze Security Camera?

This recall does not cover every Wyze security camera. It applies only to the Wyze Solar Cam Pan, model WYZESCPWH. Other Wyze camera lines are not part of this CPSC action. Owners should look for the model number printed on the camera’s back before assuming their device is affected.
