Welcome to the Class Action Website for the Certified Class Action in Miley v. Belkin International, Inc.

The lawsuit is called Lenore Miley v. Belkin International, Inc., No. 20STCV00033. This is a class action lawsuit involving power banks made by Belkin International, Inc. Power banks are commonly used portable devices that are used to charge portable electronic devices, like cell phones. It is pending in the Superior Court, Los Angeles County, Complex Litigation Division. Lenore Miley is the Plaintiff.

The plaintiff alleges in this lawsuit that Belkin represented the amount of electricity (measured in milliampere hours or “mAh”) that its power banks can deliver to charge portable electronic devices and that this created an express warranty. Plaintiff alleges that Belkin’s representation was untruthful because Belkin’s power banks are not capable of delivering the represented amount of mAh to charge portable electronic devices and because the actual performance of the power banks is overstated by over 40%.

Belkin’s brands of power banks include PocketPower, BoostCharge, Mix It Up, and others. Plaintiff’s claim involves all Belkin power banks purchased between January 2, 2016, and April 16, 2024.

Bekin denies that it has any liability in this case. Belkin contends that the mAh statements made by Belkin concern the size of the battery pack in the power bank, i.e., the amount of electricity that can be stored in the power bank, not the amount of electricity that can be delivered.

Currently, the Court has not ruled on the merits of any of the parties’ claims or defenses.
