Overview
The EcoFlow Delta Max 2000 Power Station, a portable energy storage device with a 2,016 Wh capacity, was recalled on January 18, 2026, by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) after reports of battery overheating causing fires and burns.
Sold online at Amazon.com and other retailers from June 2023 to July 2025 for about $1,500, the power stations are designed for home backup, camping, and off-grid use, featuring multiple outlets and a black plastic enclosure with “EcoFlow” and “Delta Max 2000” branding.
The defect involves the lithium-ion batteries, which can overheat and ignite during charging or use, posing serious burn and fire hazards. The CPSC has received 13 reports of overheating, including 4 fires and 1 minor burn injury, with property damage totaling $2,000.
Consumers are urged to stop using the power stations immediately and contact EcoFlow for a full refund by submitting photos of the destroyed device with “Recalled” written on it. The recall, numbered 26-011, highlights risks in portable energy storage, where lithium-ion battery failures have led to similar issues in products like Anker Power Banks.
Potential class action lawsuits are emerging, accusing EcoFlow of defective design, inadequate testing, and failure to warn, as users face the financial burden of replacements and the fear of property damage or personal injury from these high-capacity devices [1].
The recall’s expansion to include Canadian units underscores the global supply chain vulnerabilities in battery technology, following similar 2025 recalls of ESR HaloLock and Trianium power banks for overheating. The Delta Max 2000’s popularity among outdoor enthusiasts and preppers amplifies the potential plaintiff class. Successful litigation could enforce stricter battery safety standards for energy storage devices and increased retailer liability for imported electronics.
Affected Power Station Models
The recall targets:
- EcoFlow Delta Max 2000 Power Station: 2,016 Wh lithium-ion battery unit with AC/DC outlets, USB ports, and a black plastic enclosure. Sold on Amazon.com and other online retailers from June 2023 to July 2025 for about $1,500. Identifiable by “EcoFlow” and “Delta Max 2000” on the front, with model number on the bottom label [1].
Consumers can verify affected units by checking the model name and confirming the 2,016 Wh capacity. All power stations sold during the specified period are included, with no specific lot numbers provided.
Hazards of the Defective Power Stations
The EcoFlow Delta Max 2000 poses the following safety risks:
- Overheating Hazard: Lithium-ion batteries can overheat spontaneously during charging or use, leading to fires.

- Burn Injuries: Contact with hot batteries or fires can result in first- to third-degree burns.
- Property Damage: Fires can spread to homes, vehicles, or camping gear, causing extensive harm.
The CPSC reported 13 overheating incidents, including 4 fires and 1 minor burn, with $2,000 in property damage, highlighting the potential for serious consequences in everyday use.

Potential for a Class Action Lawsuit
The recall of 42,000 EcoFlow Delta Max 2000 Power Stations, with 13 overheating incidents, 4 fires, and 1 minor burn, provides a strong basis for class action lawsuits against EcoFlow Technology Inc. and its distributors. Potential claims include:
- Product Liability: Alleging defective batteries caused overheating and ignition risks.
- Negligence: Claiming EcoFlow failed to test for thermal runaway before sales.
- Failure to Warn: Asserting inadequate warnings about fire hazards on packaging or listings.
