Wyze Labs recalled Solar Cam Pan security cameras because incorrect assembly instructions can cause consumers to use the wrong screw during installation.
If the long flat-head screw is used to attach the solar panel, it can puncture the lithium-ion battery casing. CPSC reported 13 overheating incidents, including six explosions or fires and six reports of minor burns.

Latest Wyze Camera Recall and Lawsuit Updates
June 2026
- June 4, 2026 – The CPSC announced the recall of approximately 321,360 Wyze Solar Cam Pan security cameras after 13 overheating incidents, including six explosions or fires and six reports of minor burns. Consumers were instructed to stop using affected cameras and contact Wyze for a replacement, refund, or gift card [1]
What Is the Wyze Solar Cam Pan?
The recalled product is the Wyze Solar Cam Pan, a white outdoor security camera with a lithium-ion battery and a connected solar panel. The affected model number is WYZESCPWH.
The recall applies to cameras purchased on or before April 3, 2026, when the solar panel was attached using the incorrect long flat-head screws. Consumers should check the model number, purchase date, installation hardware, and recall instructions before assuming their camera is included.
The cameras were sold online through Wyze.com, Amazon.com, TikTok Shop, and Walmart.com. They were also sold in stores at Walmart and Home Depot.
The recalled products were sold from June 2024 through April 2026 for about $90 to $100. The cameras were manufactured in China and imported by Wyze Labs Inc., of Seattle, Washington.
Reported Risks or Injuries
The reported hazard involves a lithium-ion battery puncture during installation. If the long flat-head screw is used, the screw can puncture the battery casing and cause the battery to overheat.
- Rapid lithium-ion battery overheating
- Battery fires or explosions
- Minor or potentially serious burn injuries
- Damage to the camera or surrounding property
CPSC reported 13 overheating incidents involving the recalled cameras. Those reports included six explosions or fires and six reports of minor burns.
Consumers who experienced overheating, fire, explosion, burns, or property damage should document the incident carefully. Photos, videos, medical records, property-damage records, and recall communications may be important for a safety report, insurance review, or legal evaluation.
How Does the Problem Occur, and Who May Be Liable?
The problem can occur during installation when a consumer follows incorrect assembly instructions and uses a long flat-head screw to attach the solar panel. That screw can puncture the lithium-ion battery casing and create fire and burn hazards.
A legal investigation may examine the assembly instructions, screw design, packaging, warnings, installation diagrams, battery placement, consumer complaints, recall timing, testing records, and post-sale communications. These records may help determine whether the instructions, warnings, product design, or recall response were adequate.
Potentially responsible parties may include Wyze Labs, manufacturers, component suppliers, battery suppliers, retailers, online sellers, distributors, or other entities involved in designing, manufacturing, importing, selling, or warning about the recalled cameras. Liability depends on product identity, installation history, incident facts, causation, damages, available defendants, and applicable state law.
A recall does not automatically prove that any company is legally responsible for a specific injury or property loss. An individual review may focus on whether the camera was recalled, whether the long screw was used, whether the battery was punctured, and what injuries or property damage resulted.
Who May Be Affected?
Consumers may be affected if they purchased or used a recalled Wyze Solar Cam Pan security camera. People who installed the solar panel using the incorrect long screw may face the most direct risk.
Household members, guests, neighbors, renters, or property owners may also be affected if a recalled camera overheated, exploded, caught fire, or damaged nearby property. The camera’s location may matter if it was mounted near siding, windows, doors, furniture, wiring, outdoor structures, or other combustible materials.
Consumers should stop using affected cameras immediately and follow Wyze’s recall instructions. The recalled lithium-ion battery should not be placed in household trash, curbside recycling, or ordinary battery-recycling boxes.
Wyze and CPSC instruct consumers to confirm proper disposal before receiving the recall remedy. The remedy may include a replacement, refund, or gift card, depending on the consumer’s situation and Wyze’s recall process.
Do I Qualify?
- Did you purchase or use a Wyze Solar Cam Pan with model number WYZESCPWH?
- Was the camera purchased on or before April 3, 2026?
- Was the solar panel attached using the long flat-head screw identified in the recall?
- Did the camera overheat, smoke, explode, catch fire, or damage nearby property?
- Did you suffer burns, medical expenses, property damage, repair costs, insurance losses, or other documented losses?
- Do you have the camera, solar panel, screws, packaging, receipts, photos, videos, medical records, or recall communications?
A product-liability attorney can review the installation history, camera model, injuries, property damage, and available evidence to determine whether you may have a claim.

Legal Process Overview
Step 1: Free case review. The review begins with the camera model, purchase date, installation history, screw use, incident description, injuries, property damage, and recall status. Photos, order records, packaging, installation materials, medical records, insurance communications, and recall communications may help establish the basic facts.
Step 2: Evidence preservation and investigation. The investigation may examine product identity, installation instructions, screw type, battery damage, fire or overheating evidence, CPSC recall materials, medical records, and communications with Wyze or retailers. Attorneys may also review whether the incident matches the screw-puncture battery hazard described in the recall.
Step 3: Claim preparation and filing. A supported claim may allege defective instructions, inadequate warnings, defective design, negligence, breach of warranty, or other product liability theories. Filing occurs only when the evidence and applicable law support a claim against one or more responsible parties.
Step 4: Discovery and negotiations. The parties may exchange product-design records, installation instructions, testing materials, complaint data, recall communications, medical records, fire reports, property-loss documentation, expert opinions, and testimony. Negotiations may focus on causation, injury severity, property damage, insurance offsets, and unreimbursed losses.
Step 5: Settlement or trial. A claim may resolve through settlement, dismissal, court ruling, or trial. The outcome depends on proof of product involvement, defect evidence, injury documentation, damages, defenses, available defendants, and applicable law.
