- Belkin has recalled three of its chargers
- The batteries they contain may overheat
- You can get a full refund of the cost of the items
Belkin is recalling tens of thousands of power banks and charging stands sold over the past five years, due to concerns about battery overheating. These batteries could cause burns and fires, and affected devices should be returned immediately.
The formal recall (via Android Authority) applies to the Belkin Auto-Tracking Stand Pro (model number MMA008) and two versions of the Belkin BoostCharge USB-C PD 20K Power Bank (model numbers BPB002 and PB0003).
“A manufacturing defect could cause the products’ lithium-ion cell components to overheat, which could pose a fire hazard to consumers,” Belkin says. “No other Belkin wireless chargers or other Belkin products are affected by this recall.”
If you have one of these devices, you should stop using it immediately (even if it appears to be fine), unplug it from the power supply and any other products, and then fill out a complaint form. It is important not to throw the device into a trash or recycling bin.
Are you affected? How to check
To find out if you have one of the recalled devices, look for the model number MMA008, BPB002, or PB0003 on the back or side of the device. You must then find your serial number and/or proof of purchase to complete the claim form.
Belkin says it will offer affected users the choice of a full refund or store credit for the full price of the device, plus an additional 20% credit on the Belkin online store – provided you have valid proof of purchase or serial number to offer.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recall affects approximately 83,500 devices sold in the United States and approximately 2,385 in Canada. The devices were reportedly sold between August 2020 and August 2025.
It’s unclear how many units are affected outside of the United States and Canada, but the CPSC says there has been one report of a fire in the United States and 15 reports internationally, resulting in two minor burns and property damage.
