Wyze Recalls 321,000 Solar Cam Pan Security Cameras Over Battery Fire Hazard

Wyze Labs has recalled approximately 321,360 Solar Cam Pan security cameras after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission determined that following the product's installation instructions can lead consumers to puncture the lithium-ion battery casing, causing the battery to rapidly overheat and posing fire and burn hazards.

According to the CPSC notice, issued June 4, 2026, the agency has received 13 reports of overheating, including 6 cameras that caught fire, and 6 reports of minor burn injuries associated with the cameras. The recall covers white units with model number WYZESCPWH printed on the back, purchased on or before April 3, 2026.

The hazard

The defect is not a manufacturing variance — it is an instructions-led failure mode. The CPSC notice describes a path in which consumers following the instructions as provided can pierce the battery casing during installation. A punctured lithium-ion cell can enter thermal runaway, releasing heat, smoke, and flame in a sequence that is difficult to interrupt once underway.

That puts this recall in the same class as other instruction-driven lithium-ion incidents that have produced CPSC actions: the failure isn't a one-in-a-million component defect, it's a step in normal use that exposes the cell.

Where the cameras were sold

The cameras were sold from October 2025 through April 2026 for about $80 at Amazon, Home Depot, Best Buy, Micro Center, Temu, Wyze's own website, and other retailers, according to the CPSC notice. Consumers should stop using the recalled cameras immediately and claim the remedy described in the CPSC notice linked above.

What owners should do

Consumers in possession of a Solar Cam Pan should:

• Stop using the camera
• Avoid attempting to remove or service the battery
• Contact Wyze to claim the remedy

Wyze is offering affected consumers a choice of remedy: a free replacement camera with solar panel accessory, a full refund, or a gift card for the original purchase price. Contact and claim instructions are in the official CPSC notice linked at the top of this article.
