T400 Battery Chargers Recalled After 33 Reports of Fires and Explosions

In April 2026, Huizhou Haitan Technology recalled approximately 4,800 HTRC and Haisito brand T400 battery chargers in cooperation with the CPSC due to a serious fire hazard.

The recalled chargers were sold online through AliExpress.us, Amazon.com, Banggood.com, eBay.com, and Pyrodrone.com from March 2019 through March 2026 for approximately $130. These platforms are widely used by Texas hobbyists and drone enthusiasts.

What Is the Fire Hazard?

According to the CPSC, the T400 chargers “can ignite or cause a connected battery to ignite, posing a fire hazard and risk of serious injury and death.”

The T400 is a multi-chemistry charger commonly used by hobbyists to charge LiPo (lithium polymer), lithium-ion, and NiMH battery packs for drones, RC aircraft, and similar devices.

The risk is not limited to the charger itself. A connected battery can also ignite during use, turning a routine charging session into a fire or explosion event. LiPo battery fires burn intensely and are difficult to extinguish with standard household fire suppression methods.

How Many People Were Injured?

Huizhou Haitan Technology has received 33 reports of fires and explosions nationally, including 3 reports of burn and smoke inhalation injuries and 12 reports of property damage totaling $224,000. These figures reflect only confirmed reports submitted to the company directly.

Actual incidents across the U.S. may be higher, since many consumers who experience fires never contact the manufacturer. If you or a family member were burned or suffered property damage in Texas, our lawyers may be able to help.

How To Identify the Recalled Charger

The recalled chargers are black with a touch screen display and model number T400 printed on the front. Some units have “HTRC” printed on the front; others show no brand name at all. The “Haisito” brand name may appear only on the purchase receipt rather than on the product itself.

If you purchased a black touch-screen battery charger model T400 from any of the online platforms listed above between 2019 and 2026, your charger may be included in this recall.

Use the following information to identify this product:

• Model number: T400 (printed on front)
• Brand names: HTRC or Haisito (Haisito may appear only on receipt)
• Color/style: Black with touch screen
• Sold at: AliExpress.us, Amazon.com, Banggood.com, eBay.com, Pyrodrone.com
• Sale period: March 2019 – March 2026
• Price: Approximately $130
• CPSC Recall Number: 26-379

What Should Texas Consumers Do?

The CPSC advises consumers to immediately stop using the recalled chargers. Contact Huizhou Haitan Technology at 327-208-2365 (Monday–Friday, 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. ET) or by email at hasaki57620@outlook.com to request a full refund. You can also visit the company’s recall page for instructions.

The company will send a pre-labeled, prepaid return package so you can return the charger for disposal. A full refund will be issued upon return. For more information, visit the official CPSC recall page.
