Ring recalls 350,000 smart doorbells after some of them caught fire

Amazon's home security arm Ring has recalled 358,000 of its smart doorbells sold in North America after some of them caught fire. After receiving complaints of property damage and'minor burns', the company has recalled units of its £89 second-generation video doorbell, released this year. The doorbell's battery can overheat when the incorrect screws are used for installation, posing fire and burn hazards, according to a notice posted by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The issue affects about 350,000 units sold in the US and another 8,700 sold in Canada, and UK users are unaffected, Amazon told MailOnline. Ring doorbells allow users to monitor their home remotely with live video streams and notifications on their smartphone, thanks to its in-built camera.
