Ring doorbells (second gen) have been catching on fire--Is yours safe?

Ring, a subsidiary of Amazon, recalled 350,000 Ring Video Doorbells (2nd Generation) recently, after 23 of them reportedly started fires, according to a statement by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. While the recall sounds alarming, if the doorbell was properly installed, there's no risk, according to Ring. Using improper screws during installation can cause the battery to overheat and catch on fire. The recall is for Ring Video Doorbell (2nd Generation), model number 5UM5E5. These units were sold between June and October 2020.
