2026-06-05 – A Baseus portable charger exploded and ignited a fire in a child's bedroom, according to a report filed with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's SaferProducts.gov database. The incident involves a Baseus 65W 30000mAh Portable Charger model BS-30KP365, manufactured by BASEUS TECHNOLOGY (US) INC, and has been categorized as a Fire Or Burn Hazard. Product DetailsBrand Name: Baseus Incident OverviewThe consumer reported purchasing the Baseus portable charger through Amazon in December 2024. The original unit was later subject to a recall. On January 2, 2025, the consumer received a replacement unit of the same model (BS-30KP365) with serial number FSD240906A. The consumer stated they received no direct recall notice, safety warning, or instruction to discontinue use of the product at any time before or after the replacement. Safety ConcernsImmediate Dangers: When a lithium-ion battery pack like the one in the Baseus BS-30KP365 enters thermal runaway, it releases flammable electrolyte gases that can ignite, producing intense flames, toxic smoke, and explosive force. The fire can spread rapidly to nearby combustibles, as occurred in this incident. Long-Term Risks: Even after the fire is extinguished, damaged lithium-ion cells can reignite hours or days later if internal shorts persist. Residual chemicals from the battery may also pose environmental hazards. Who Might Be Affected: Anyone in proximity to the device during failure is at risk. Children are especially vulnerable because they may be unable to react quickly or evacuate, and their bedrooms often contain flammable bedding and toys. Warning Signs: Prior to catastrophic failure, lithium-ion batteries may exhibit swelling, hissing sounds, excessive heat, or a chemical odor. However, this incident demonstrates that failure can occur without obvious warning, particularly in units that were purportedly remedied under a recall. What Our Clients SayWhat Consumers Should DoStop Using Immediately: Cease use of any Baseus BS-30KP365 portable charger, especially if it shows signs of swelling, heat, or damage. Do not charge or store it near flammable materials. Consumers who suffered injury or property damage from this product may wish to speak with a product liability attorney to understand their legal options.
