What Happened With the Ring Doorbell Recall?
In November 2020, the Consumer Product Safety Commission posted a recall notice for Ring doorbells on its website. The recall came after Amazon, the parent company of Ring, received a notice that its second-generation doorbells posed a fire hazard when installed with the incorrect screws.
| Ring Doorbell Fire Hazard | According to an Amazon spokesperson, the company became aware that approximately 23 of its Ring doorbells had caught fire. This amounted to multiple cases of property damage and eight personal injuries due to minor burns. |
| What Ring Doorbells are Affected? | The Ring doorbell recall covers approximately 350,000 second-generation doorbells that were sold in the United States between June and October 2020. Also included in the recall are another 8,700 doorbells that were sold in Canada during that same timeframe. |
Do I Immediately Get a Recall if I Report My Product?
Anyone who purchased one of the affected doorbells is eligible for the recall. Even so, that does not necessarily mean that the replacement will be automatic.

- Your original receipt or proof of purchase
- The model number and/or the serial number of your Ring doorbell. This may be difficult if the original sticker has since become damaged or is illegible.
- Proof that your product is actually defective
Having a Ring doorbell that poses a safety hazard is frustrating enough. Not being able to obtain a recall in a timely manner can only add to your irritation. If you want a hassle-free way to ensure your Ring doorbell recall goes smoothly, DoNotPay offers the perfect solution.
