Belkin, a leading tech accessories manufacturer, has issued a recall for several of its products due to a serious safety concern. The company has recalled its Auto-Tracking Stand Pro for the iPhone and two versions of its 20,000mAh BoostCharge USB-C PD Power Bank, as a "manufacturing defect may cause the products' lithium-ion cell components to overheat," posing a fire and burn risk to users.
While there has been just one reported incident of a fire in the United States, the company has received 15 reports of fires in other countries, including two minor burn injuries and $37,765 in property damage. The recalled devices were sold in the US between August 2020 and August 2025, with approximately 83,500 units sold, and an additional 2,385 sold in Canada.
Customers are urged to immediately stop using the affected products and contact Belkin for a full refund or store credit, plus a 20% bonus. 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 or recycling bins.
