If you own Belkin's Portable Wireless Charger + Stand Special Edition charger, you should stop using it. The company issued a voluntary recall for this charging stand because of a manufacturing issue in its power supply. The problem can cause the charger to overheat and malfunction, which could pose fire and shock risks. There haven't been any injury or property damage reported yet, and Belkin wants to keep it that way by offering a full refund.
