January 28, 2026 – A recent consumer incident report details a dangerous malfunction involving a Wireless Controller B01, manufactured by Shenzhen Qixun Space Technology Co.,Ltd. The incident, reported on January 6, 2026, involved the controller’s charging cable overheating, melting, and emitting smoke while being charged in a car. This event highlights a significant fire hazard and potential manufacturing defect associated with the product.
Product Details
Incident Overview
The incident occurred on January 5th, 2026, when a consumer’s son was charging a Wireless Controller B01, purchased from Walmart via the BEBONCOOL Official Store on November 30, 2025. The controller was being charged in a car using the included charging cable. During the charging process, the cable and the controller’s charging port began to overheat significantly. This overheating quickly escalated, leading to the melting and smoking of plastic components at the point where the cable connects to the controller. Visible melted plastic and smoke were observed, prompting immediate disconnection of the device due to the perceived fire hazard. Both the controller and the charging cable sustained clear damage and are no longer safe for use. The consumer suspects a manufacturing defect in either the controller’s charging port or the supplied cable.
Safety Concerns
The reported incident with the Wireless Controller B01 presents several serious safety concerns:
- Immediate Fire Hazard: The overheating, melting plastic, and smoke generation clearly indicate a significant fire risk. Such an event, especially in an enclosed space like a car or a child’s room, could quickly escalate into a dangerous fire, potentially leading to severe property damage or personal injury.
- Burn Risk: Components becoming hot enough to melt plastic also pose a direct burn hazard to anyone handling the device during or immediately after the malfunction.
- Property Damage Potential: Had the incident not been immediately noticed and the device unplugged, the uncontrolled overheating could have caused substantial damage to the vehicle’s interior, furniture, or other nearby combustible materials. The consumer specifically noted the danger if this had occurred overnight in a child’s room.
- Respiratory Irritation: The emission of smoke from melting plastic can release noxious fumes, posing a risk of respiratory irritation or other health issues, particularly for sensitive individuals or in poorly ventilated areas.
- Manufacturing Defect: The nature of the failure strongly suggests a manufacturing defect in either the controller’s charging port, the included charging cable, or both. This indicates a potential systemic issue that could affect other units of the same product.
What Consumers Should Do
Consumers who own a Wireless Controller B01 or similar charging accessories from Shenzhen Qixun Space Technology Co.,Ltd, especially those sold under the BEBONCOOL brand, should take the following precautions:
- Immediately Discontinue Use: If you own this specific Wireless Controller B01, or any charging accessory exhibiting signs of overheating, melting, or smoke, stop using it immediately.
- Check Your Product: Verify if you own the Wireless Controller B01 (Lightning Pattern Edition) by checking your purchase records or the product itself.
- Preserve Evidence: Do not discard the defective product or its accessories. Keep the damaged controller and cable as evidence, and if possible, take photographs or videos of the damage. This documentation can be crucial for future investigations or claims.
- Avoid Charging Unattended: Never charge electronic devices, especially game controllers, overnight or when you are not present to monitor them.
- Use Original/Certified Chargers: Always use the charging cable and power adapter supplied with the product, or certified replacements that match the product’s specifications. Avoid generic or unverified charging accessories.
- Report the Incident: File a detailed report with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at www.SaferProducts.gov. Your report helps identify dangerous products and can lead to recalls or safety improvements.
