The company is offering full refunds through an online recall form following discovery of a lithium‑ion cell defect.

Overview

  • Belkin has initiated a safety recall for the BoostCharge USB‑C PD Power Bank 20K (BPB002) and the Auto‑Tracking Stand Pro (MMA008).

  • Owners are instructed to stop using and unplug the devices and to store them in a cool, dry place away from flammable objects.
  • The products must not be discarded in household waste or standard battery boxes and should be taken to certified facilities that handle lithium‑ion batteries.
