Belkin Power Bank Settlement: Voucher or Cash, and Eligibility

Who is covered by the settlement?

• You may be included if you bought any Belkin power bank in California from January 2, 2016 through April 16, 2024.
• The notice excludes Belkin and certain related people and entities, including Belkin officers, directors, employees, and the officers, directors, and employees of entities Belkin controls or has controlled. It also excludes Belkin’s legal representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns.
• Getting a notice means available records suggest you may be a class member, but the notice says people who did not receive one may also be members.

What can a class member receive?

• You may choose one benefit: a $5 voucher or a $2 cash payment. You cannot receive both.
• The voucher can be used for one transaction on Belkin’s website and is valid for up to one year after it is issued.
• You can make only one claim even if you bought more than one eligible power bank.

What should I do if I received an email or mailed notice with a Unique ID number?

• You do not need to submit a claim to receive the $5 voucher.
• If you prefer the $2 cash payment, submit an Exchange Request online or by mail to the Settlement Administrator. The notice lists March 30, 2026 as the deadline for this settlement option.
• The notice does not say that purchase documents are required with an Exchange Request.

How do I ask for a benefit if I did not receive a notice with an identifying number?

• Submit a Claim Form online or mail it to the Settlement Administrator by March 30, 2026.
• Include proof that the product was sold to you. The notice gives a receipt or a document from the retailer or Belkin as examples.
• The Claim Form lets you choose either the voucher or the cash payment. You generally do not need both a Claim Form and an Exchange Request.

Can I leave the settlement, and what claims would I give up if I stay?

• The notice says class members are bound by the settlement and its release unless they make a valid and timely request for exclusion, also called opting out.
• The release covers claims connected to alleged mAh or output-capacity statements or omissions about Belkin power banks. Claims for personal injury or wrongful death are excluded from the release.
• However, this notice does not provide the deadline, address, or steps for submitting an exclusion request. It therefore does not explain how to opt out.

How can I object to the settlement?

• You can object in writing by March 30, 2026. Send or deliver it to Apex Class Action LLC, PO Box 54668, Irvine, CA 92619.
• The objection must identify the case, provide your contact information and a sworn statement that you are a class member, and explain each objection. It should also say whether you or your lawyer plan to attend the hearing.
• Objecting does not remove you from the class.

When is the court hearing, and when could benefits be issued?

• The final approval hearing is scheduled for June 12, 2026, at 11:30 a.m., in Courtroom 12 at 312 North Spring Street, Los Angeles, California.
• You do not have to attend. A timely written objection will still be considered, and you may ask for permission to speak.
• The hearing date, time, or location may change. Payment is not promised at the hearing; vouchers and cash payments are to be issued only after final approval and after any appeals are finished.

What happens if I do nothing?

• You stay in the class and are bound by the settlement and release.
• If you did not receive an email or mailed notice with a claim number, doing nothing means you will not receive a settlement benefit.
• The notice does not say that simply doing nothing prevents an automatic $5 voucher for someone who did receive a notice with a Unique ID number.
