The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Address Ongoing Litigation & Seizure of one of the hottest toys, the Hoverboard.
Hoverboards, as they are commonly known, are self-balancing
two-wheeled electric scooters. They are powered by controversial
rechargeable batteries that have recently garnered attention for
malfunctioning, causing devices to catch fire and destroy homes. The
lithium-ion batteries have been known to overheat, catch fire, and explode
without warning.
