Power failures prompt GoPro to recall its Karma drone
10 November 2016, Thu
GoPro has recalled its recently-released Karma drone because some of the units have suffered from mid-flight power failures.
The California-headquartered company has now urged all users to stop using the Karma, and it is offering a full refund to anyone who bought one of the drones.
“Safety is our top priority,” GoPro founder and chief executive Nicholas Woodman said in a statement.
“A very small number of Karma owners have reported incidents of power failure during operation.
“We have moved quickly to recall all units of Karma and provide a full refund while we investigate the issue. We are working in close coordination with both the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Federal Aviation Administration.
