Humane Tells Users to Stop Using Ai Pin Case Over Fire Risk

Startup Humane Inc. told users to stop using the charging case of its Ai Pin device because of a fire risk, adding further uncertainty to the product’s rocky rollout.

The company told owners of the device that it identified a “quality issue” with the battery inside of the case, which lets users charge their Ai Pins on the go. Humane said it launched an investigation after receiving a single report of charging problems with the device, which debuted earlier this year.
