Wyze Labs Solar Cam Pan Security Camera Recall 2026 — Fire Hazard

Wyze Labs, Inc. has issued a recall of approximately 321,360 Wyze Solar Cam Pan Security Cameras sold in the United States, plus an additional 2,560 units sold in Canada, due to serious fire and burn hazards linked to incorrect assembly. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall on June 4, 2026, urging all affected consumers to stop using the product immediately.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recalled product is the Wyze Solar Cam Pan Security Camera, model number WYZESCPWH, which is found on the back of the camera. These are lithium-ion battery-operated, wire-free outdoor security cameras equipped with motorized pan-and-tilt functionality and an integrated solar panel. They were sold exclusively in white and were available at major retailers including Home Depot, Micro Center, Best Buy, and online platforms such as Amazon, Temu, B2B Renew, Inc., and ReturnPro. The cameras were sold from October 2025 through April 2026 for approximately $80.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall stems from a critical assembly flaw in the product instructions. The cameras ship with two types of screws: short pan-head screws intended to attach the solar panel to the camera, and long flat-head screws meant for mounting the unit to the side of a house. The recalled cameras’ incorrect assembly instructions can lead consumers to accidentally use the long, flat-head screw to install the solar panel on top of the camera. This error can cause the screw to puncture the lithium-ion battery’s metal casing, leading the battery to rapidly overheat.

Wyze Labs has received 13 consumer reports of the security cameras overheating, and six reports of cameras exploding and catching fire, including six reports of consumers suffering minor burns. The hazard poses a risk of serious injury and property damage.

Who Is Affected?

All consumers who purchased the Wyze Solar Cam Pan Security Camera (model WYZESCPWH) between October 2025 and April 2026 may be affected. Specifically, consumers who used the long, flat-head screw to install the solar panel on top of the camera are required to participate in the recall. Consumers who are uncertain about which screw was used during installation are advised to visit the company website for detailed identification guidance. The recall affects buyers across the United States and Canada.
