  • Humane has warned customers to stop using the AI Pin’s Charge Case accessory due to a potential fire safety risk.
  • The issue stems from a faulty battery cell supplied by a third-party vendor.
  • The AI Pin itself, Battery Booster, and charging pad are not affected and are safe to use.

In its early days on the market, Humane’s innovative AI Pin has faced some significant challenges. While some reactions just called it a device that’s ahead of its time, others see it as not yet consumer-ready. The company is now dealing with another issue, and this one concerns user safety as well.

As reported by The Verge, the company has issued an urgent warning to customers, advising them to immediately cease using the charging case accessory included with the AI Pin due to a potential fire safety risk. The Charge Case accessory is a portable charging case for the AI Pin, which is separate from the wired charging base that the AI Pin comes with.
