The CPSC and Verizon now recall Ellipsis Jetpack Mobile Hotspots.  Their lithium batteries may overheat creating fire and burn hazards.  About 2.5 million were sold via Verizon stores nationwide and on Verizon.com.  If you can do without the internet access the hotspot provides, power it off and store it in a ventilated location away from combustibles.  If you need it for internet access, turn it on but do not continue to charge it while it downloads two over-the-air updates.  After the update, leave the device on and plugged in.  When you can, return the hotspot to Verizon for replacement.  For more information, call Verizon at 1-855-205-2627.
