PHP Fatal error breaking site

PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /wp-content/plugins/company-updates-for-linkedin/linkedin-company-updates.php on line 672

This error in your plugin was thrown as a result of gracefully handling WP_Errors. It occurs randomly causing our site to break and prevents javascript from loading. We recommend editing lines 658-688 to be:

  /**
         * GETs remote json data
         * @param  string $url           url from which to fetch the data
         * @param  string $error_message Text error message
         * @return array | false
         */
        private function get_remote_json( $url, $error_message ) {
            try {
                // make the GET request
                $response = wp_remote_get( $url );
                if ($response instanceof \WP_Error) {
                    $this->notification( $response->get_error_message() );
                    return false;
                } else {
                    $json = json_decode($response['body'], 1);
                    // check for errors
                    if (isset($json['error'])) {
                        throw new Error($json['error_description']);
                    }

                    return $json;
                }
            // handle errors
            } catch ( Exception $ex ) {
                $this->notification( $ex->getMessage() );
                return false;
            }
        }
