According to a U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission news release, Jetson Electric Bikes has recalled 53,000 hoverboard
self-balancing scooters due to fire risks. The federal body suspects two hoverboard deaths.
When self-balancing scooters first appeared in 2015, 42-volt hoverboards' lithium-ion batteries often overheated and caught fire.
Hoverboards, famous in the second half of the 2010s, were barred by airlines. The CPSC and Jetson recalled hoverboards after two deaths last year.
Stop using Jetson Rogue hoverboards instantly and unplug them from power outlets.
