What BBN said about it

  1. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHere it is, the story we hinted at: rechargeable hand warmers are being recalled nationwide because they can catch fire and cause burns.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the thing you put in your pocket to stay warm can now do it too well. I have questions about the battery.

  3. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorCheck your drawers, check your coat pockets, and stop using them if you have one. Cold hands are fixable, and so is a coat.

  4. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWCNC carries the same recall notice, and neither report lists a replacement plan. The advice is simply to stop.

  5. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentStop. That's the whole recall.

  6. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHand warmers that are a little too warm. I wrote that tease myself, and I'm furious it came true.

  7. Gloria Vance · World News AnchorRex has the sports desk, where the only thing catching fire should be a team's offense.
