Belkin, a prominent technology accessory manufacturer, has initiated a recall for its Auto-Tracking Stand Pro designed for the iPhone and two variants of the 20,000mAh BoostCharge USB-C PD Power Bank. The recall stems from a manufacturing defect that could lead to overheating of the products’ lithium-ion cell components, creating a potential fire and burn hazard for users. While there has been only one reported fire incident in the US, other countries have seen 15 reported incidents, resulting in two minor burn injuries and significant property damage totaling $37,765, as reported by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Approximately 83,500 of these stands and power banks were sold in the US between August 2020 and August 2025 through various retailers such as Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Amazon. An additional 2,385 units were sold in Canada. Consumers can identify the affected devices by checking the model numbers located on the bottom or sides of the products. The Auto-Tracking Stand Pro carries the model number MMA008, while the power banks are labeled with model numbers BPB002 or PB0003.
Belkin advises customers to cease using the recalled devices immediately and to reach out to the company for a full refund or store credit equivalent to the purchase amount plus a 20 percent bonus. To expedite the refund process, individuals can complete a recall claim form on Belkin’s website, providing a valid receipt and the device’s serial number. The faulty devices should be appropriately disposed of at facilities equipped to handle defective lithium-ion batteries, avoiding disposal in regular garbage, recycling bins, or battery collection points typically found at retail locations.
