Snap recalls 71,000 of its drones due to fire risk
In 2022, Snap began selling Pixy, a compact yellow drone weighing about 100 grams and equipped with a camera. Its main function is to fly around its owner and take pictures of him or her. However, something went wrong.
Snap and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall all drones sold due to the risk of fire. There have already been several reports of a bloated battery, one fire, and one minor injury. Therefore, the manufacturer urges you to immediately stop using the drone, remove the battery and do not charge it.
Snap promises a full refund for the drone itself and/or the battery separately.
The company does not specify how many gadgets will be recalled. But it is known that 71 thousand batteries were sold in total, meaning that the number of drones is less than this figure.
