Snap Is Recalling and Refunding Every Drone It Ever Sold

Snap is recalling all 71,000 of its Pixy flying selfie camera drones because their batteries pose a fire hazard. The Verge reports: Snap and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission say you should 'immediately stop using the Pixy Flying Camera, remove the battery and stop charging it' now that there have been four reports of the battery bulging, one fire, and one 'minor injury.' Then, you can get a full refund for the entire drone and / or any batteries you own -- sounds like we're talking at least $185 back to you, unless you bought it on sale. You don't need a receipt: you can apply for the refund even if you got it as a gift. You can fill out this form to receive a prepaid return label to return the drone. Snap says you will need to safely dispose of the batteries yourself.
