Humane has issued an urgent safety alert to owners of its AI Pin device, instructing them to immediately cease using the charging case due to a fire safety risk linked to the battery cells supplied by a third-party vendor. The company has discontinued its relationship with the supplier and emphasized the precautionary nature of the warning, which was also communicated via email. This development adds to the challenges faced by Humane, as the AI Pin has struggled with poor sales and reviews. Reports from The Verge indicate that Humane, which has raised $240 million, is in talks with HP and telecom companies for a potential $1 billion sale. The AI Pin, launched with high expectations, has sold only 10,000 units, far below the target of 100,000, generating approximately $7 million in revenue.
