Belkin has issued a recall for three of its products due to manufacturing defects. The products in question are an Auto-Tracking Stand Pro charging stand, and two 20,000mAh power banks, the BoostCharge USB-C PD 20K and Playa USB-C PD 20K.
“A manufacturing defect may cause the products’ lithium-ion cell components to overheat, which could pose a fire hazard to consumers. No other Belkin wireless chargers or any other Belkin products are affected by this recall.”
“If you have purchased the Belkin Auto-Tracking Stand Pro model number MMA008, BoostCharge USB-C PD Power Bank 20K model number BPB002 or Playa USB-C PD Power Bank 20K model number PB0003, it is important that you immediately stop using the product, disconnect it from any power supply or other products, and contact us for further instructions. Place your BPB002, PB0003 and/or MMA008 in a safe, dry location away from anything flammable or anything that can damage the power bank.” Suffice it to say, if you’re the owner of either one of these products, then you need to stop using them right away.
Belkin has provided three simple steps on its support page. First, locate the number on the back or side of your Belkin product, if they have the model number MMA008, BPB002 or PB0003, congratulations: your product is affected.
Second, jot down your serial number and/or proof of purchase. Then, finally, simply fill out the recall claim form that it provided.
