Plain-English summary
Wyze Labs, Inc. is recalling about 321,360 Wyze Solar Cam Pan security cameras (model WYZESCPWH) sold from October 2025 through April 2026. The cameras are outdoor, wire-free security cameras with motorized pan-and-tilt functionality and an integrated solar panel, powered by lithium-ion batteries.
The cameras were sold at Home Depot, Micro Center, Best Buy, Amazon, Temu, B2B Renew Inc., ReturnPro, and online at wyze.com for about $80. The recalled cameras' incorrect assembly instructions can lead consumers to accidentally use the wrong fasteners when attaching the solar panel, which can puncture the lithium-ion battery's metal casing and cause the battery to rapidly overheat.
Wyze Labs has received 13 consumer reports of the cameras overheating, with six reports of cameras exploding and catching on fire. Six consumers have suffered minor burns.
