Latest News & Updates
June 2026
The CPSC announced Wyze Labs’ recall of Solar Cam Pan security cameras because incorrect assembly instructions can cause consumers to accidentally puncture the lithium-ion battery’s metal casing, causing the battery to rapidly overheat and creating fire and burn hazards. Consumers were told to stop using the recalled cameras immediately and check whether their device is affected [1].
What Is the Wyze Solar Cam Pan?
The recalled product is the Wyze Solar Cam Pan, a wire-free outdoor security camera powered by a lithium-ion battery. The camera has motorized pan-and-tilt functionality and an integrated solar panel.
The recalled cameras were sold in white. The model number WYZESCPWH is located on the back of the camera.
The products were sold at Home Depot and Micro Center, and online through Wyze.com, Temu, Amazon, B2B Renew, ReturnPro, and Best Buy from October 2025 through April 2026 for about $80.
Reported Risks or Injuries
- Lithium-ion battery overheating
- Battery explosions or fires
- Minor burn injuries
- Smoke exposure or property damage
- Fire spread to siding, walls, outdoor structures, or nearby household materials
How Does the Problem Occur?
The hazard can occur when consumers use the wrong screw during installation of the solar panel. The CPSC noted that the short pan-head screws should be used to attach the solar panel to the camera, while the long flat-head screws are intended for mounting the unit to the side of a house.
If the long screw punctures the lithium-ion battery’s metal casing, the battery can rapidly overheat. This can lead to smoke, fire, explosion, burns, or property damage.
Who May Be Affected?
- Consumers who purchased a Wyze Solar Cam Pan security camera
- People who used the long flat-head screw to attach the solar panel to the camera
