Belkin has issued a recall for its Auto-Tracking Stand Pro for the iPhone and two versions of its 20,000mAh BoostCharge USB-C PD Power Bank because a “manufacturing defect may cause the products’ lithium-ion cell components to overheat,” posing a fire and burn risk to users. While there’s been just one report of a fire in the US, there have been 15 reports in other countries including two minor burn injuries and $37,765 of property damage, according to the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
There were about 83,500 of the stands and power banks sold in the US between August 2020 and August 2025 through Belkin’s online store and retailers including Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and Amazon, while an additional 2,385 of them were sold in Canada. The recalled devices can be identified by their model numbers printed on the bottom or sides of the devices. The Auto-Tracking Stand Pro will have model number MMA008, while the power banks will have model numbers BPB002 or PB0003.
Customers are urged to stop using the recalled devices immediately and to contact Belkin for either a complete refund or Belkin.com store credit for the full purchase amount plus a 20 percent bonus. A recall claim form is available on Belkin’s website and asks for a valid receipt and the device’s serial number to “expedite” the refund process. Once your claim has been filed, the recalled devices should be properly disposed of at a facility that can safely handle defective lithium-ion batteries, and not placed in the garbage, recycling bins, or the battery collection boxes found at many retailers.
