Ring Recall

Ring has issued a recall for about 350,000 video doorbells due to a potential safety issue. This recall was issued because the video doorbell’s battery could overheat, potentially causing fire and burn hazards if the wrong screws are used for installation.

This recall affects both the satin nickel and Venetian bronze editions of second-generation Ring Video Doorbells with the model number 5UM5E5. So far, there have been 85 incident reports, with 23 of those doorbells igniting and causing minor property damage. There have also been eight reports of minor burns.
