How do you check whether your power station is recalled?
Find the model number on the label on the bottom or back of the unit, then compare it with the models in the CPSC notice; some recalls cover only certain serial numbers. You can search all recalls at CPSC.gov and register your product with the manufacturer, so the maker can contact you directly. Several recent recalls were fixed with a free firmware update installed through the brand's app. Others replaced or refunded the unit. If yours is listed, stop using it and follow the remedy in the notice.
Why do power stations get recalled?
Every recall on this list involves the battery or the electronics that control it. 4 were for fire or overheating, from causes such as a circuit board that can overheat or cells that can short. The others involved electric shock. Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, now used in 57 of the 59 current models we track, are less prone to thermal runaway than the NMC cells many earlier units used, but no chemistry removes the risk. Charge on a hard surface away from flammable materials, keep vents clear and don't leave a damaged unit charging.
Which related recalls are not on the main list?
These CPSC recalls involve battery backup products that may or may not count as portable power stations, usually because the notice gives no capacity, chemistry or AC outlets. We list them separately so the main count stays conservative.
| Announced | Product (CPSC notice) | U.S. units | Hazard | Why it is separate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-11-03 | Power Plus (Tora): Tora Portable Power Charging Stations | 115 | Lithium-ion battery can catch fire while charging; fire and explosion hazard | Niche product: backup power supply for motorized storm shutters; CPSC record does not state AC outlets or capacity. |
| 2016-07-28 | Patriot Power (Lekker / 4Patriots): Patriot Power 1500-watt Generator | 2,200 | Battery sold with the generator can catch fire | Battery-based 'generator' but CPSC record does not state battery chemistry (may not be lithium), outlets, or 'solar'. Incidents = 13 fires + 2 smoking + 1 noise/odor. |
| 2009-04-02 | Rocketfish (Best Buy): Rocketfish Universal AC/DC/USB Portable Power Source | 1,400 | Can ignite while charging the battery; fire hazard | Small battery AC/DC/USB power source (about $100); chemistry, capacity and outlets not stated. Possibly under 100 Wh. |

<a href="https://www.runtimewise.com/data/power-station-recalls/">Portable Power Station Recalls: Full CPSC List</a> (RuntimeWise)How was this data compiled?
We searched the CPSC's official recall database (the SaferProducts.gov Recall API) with the terms "power station", "portable power", "solar generator", "power bank", "battery pack" and similar, then read each record. A recall is on the main list when the product is a battery unit with AC outlets sold as a portable power station. Unit counts, hazards, incidents and remedies are copied from the CPSC record, and nothing is estimated. Captured 2026-10-22.
- "Incidents" counts the reports of fires, overheating or shock that firms received, as stated in each notice. Where a notice doesn't state injuries or deaths, we show "not stated" rather than zero.
- Excluded: phone and laptop power banks, jump starters, stationary home batteries, accessories and fuel generators.
- Limits: CPSC recalls are voluntary actions announced with a firm, so a product can have problems without a recall. Recalls by Health Canada or other countries that weren't joint with CPSC aren't listed.
