Snap Recalls 71,000 Pixy Drones Over Fire Hazard

The company offers full refunds to users after reports of battery overheating, posing a risk of fire and injury.

Snap has issued a recall for all 71,000 Pixy drones sold due to a potential fire risk from lithium-ion batteries.
The recall follows four reports of battery issues, including overheating and bulging, which led to one minor fire and one minor injury.
Users are advised to immediately stop using the Pixy drones, remove the battery, and follow specific disposal guidelines.
Snap is offering full refunds to all Pixy drone owners, including those who received the drone as a gift or purchased it on sale.
The Pixy drone was discontinued a few months after its launch in 2022 amid declining sales and a shift in company focus.
