Why This Matters for Consumers & Legal Claims

High risk of injury and property loss

Lithium-ion battery failures pose serious risks: fire, burns, smoke damage, even structural damage to homes or vehicles. Devices intended to provide convenience (portable charging, wireless stands) suddenly become a hazard.

Manufacturing and design questions

When a mass recall is triggered by overheating batteries, key legal questions arise: Was the product properly tested? Was there a design or manufacturing defect? Were warnings adequate? Why did the defect persist over large production volumes and years?

Legal liability can be significant

Products like these fall under product-liability law: if someone suffered an injury or property damage linked to one of these recalled Belkin devices, claims may include:

• Defective design or manufacture

• Failure to warn/recall timely

• Breach of implied or express warranty
  We help clients document the device model/serial number, purchase/install history, damage/injury records, recall compliance and pursue full compensation.

Evidence preservation is key

Recall-related injuries can be complex: device may be moved, battery may be discarded, damage may be cleaned up. Prompt preservation of the product, photos of damage, receipts, and communication with manufacturer is vital.

What You Should Do Immediately If You Own One of These Devices

1. Check the model number and serial number — confirm whether your device is one of the recalled units (MMA008, BPB002, PB0003).

2. Stop using the device immediately — suspend charging or use of the portable power bank or wireless stand.

3. Document purchase and usage — receipt, order number, date purchased, where sold, photos of device front/back, serial/printing.

4. Document any incident — if there was overheating, smoke, fire, burn injury or property damage, take photographs, secure fire-department or repair reports.

5. Contact Belkin — follow recall instructions to request refund or store credit. Don’t just discard the device; clarify proper disposal of lithium-ion device per the recall instructions. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission

6. Consult legal counsel — Especially if injury or property damage occurred. The recall alone may not be enough; but when harm happened, early legal action can preserve evidence and legal rights.

Why This Recall Is a Wake-Up Call
