(WSVN) - Jetson Electric recalled 53,000 hoverboards after the company said their product’s lithium-ion batteries could overheat and cause fires.
According to The Consumer Product Safety Commission, there have been multiple reports of the 2-volt Jetson Rogue model burning, sparking, and melting, several of which involved reports of flames.
Last year, two people died in Pennsylvania after a fire broke out. The Hellertown Borough Fire Marshal determined that a 42-volt Jetson Rogue was the point of origin of the fire.
The recalled hoverboards, ranging from $100 to $150, were sold at Target stores nationwide and online from August 2018 through June 2019 at www.ridejetson.com from January 2019 through November 2021.
