GoPro recalls 2,500 Karma drones due to power failure

Action camera maker GoPro is hastily recalling  2,500 of its Karma drones bought since Oct. 23 after a small number of the devices lost power during operation. No injuries or damage to property was reported and GoPro says that owners can return the drones for a full refund, no replacements are being offered. The problem with drones losing power during operation is that they become projectiles and can crash into persons and property, a huge issue for GoPro which could be held liable for any damage done resulting from this defect.

In a message on their website, GoPro had this to say, "GoPro is committed to providing our customers with great product experiences. To honor this commitment, we have recalled Karma until we resolve a performance issue related to a loss of power during operation. We plan to resume shipment of Karma once the issue is addressed."
