It’s all the tech news that’s popular right now. Welcome to Hashtag Trending! It’s Friday, April 9 and I’m your host Alex Coop.
General Motors is the latest auto manufacturer to sound the alarm bells over the global semiconductor chip shortage. CNBC is reporting that GM is halting production at its plants in Tennessee, Michigan and Mexico later this month and expecting other plant shutdowns in Kansas and Canada through mid-May. Ford made a similar announcement last week, noting impacted plants are in Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri and Ontario, Canada. Didn’t think that chip shortage was going to a big deal?

Verizon has the Ellipsis line that includes jetpacks and tablets. From Android tablets, Verizon launched the Ellipsis Jetpack that worked as a mobile hotspot for multiple devices. We remember the first Verizon Ellipsis Jetpack launched in 2014 which could connect up to eight mobile devices. It was then followed by the Verizon Jetpack MiFi 7730L three years later and able to support up to 15 devices. There was also the Inseego Verizon Jetpack MiFi 8800L that promised 5G-level gigabit speed.
The Ellipsis jetpacks proved to be helpful the past years but sadly, some models released are said to be fire and burn hazards. Verizon is recalling about 2.5 millions of Ellipsis Jetpack Mobile Hotspots. Specifically, these models: MHS900L, MHS900LS and MHS900LPP–those imported by Franklin Wireless Corp.

By Colin Kellaher Shares of Franklin Wireless Corp. fell sharply for a second straight day on Friday after Verizon Communications Inc. recalled about 2.5 million Ellipsis Jetpack mobile hotspots imported by Franklin due to fire and burn hazards. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Thursday said Verizon was recalling the hotspots because the lithium ion battery in the products can overheat, posing fire and burn hazards. According to the CPSC, Verizon has received 15 reports of devices overheating, including six reports of fire damage to bedding or flooring and two reports of minor burn injuries. Franklin, a San Diego provider of wireless access products, on Friday said it is working with its battery and device manufacturing partners to determine the cause and extent of the issue.
