Verizon is recalling a huge number of its popular mobile hotspots due to a very serious issue with the rechargeable batteries that are built into them. In a new bulletin posted by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, Verizon explains that a whopping 2.5 million of its mobile hotspots may overheat. In some cases, this overheating can lead to fires, causing property damage as well as potential injury to users.
The hotspots included in this recall are the Ellipsis Jetpack model which is oval in shape and features the Verizon logo prominently on the front. They are "dark navy" in color but may appear black. In images of the recalled devices that are included on the recall, the hotspots are dark enough that they could easily be confused for being black. Now, 2.5 million of them have to be returned.
