DGL Group is recalling about 25,000 Hover-1 Helix hoverboards because their lithium-ion batteries can overheat, creating a risk of fire. There have been three reports of fires linked to these hoverboards, which caused approximately $25,000 in property damage and five reports of smoke inhalation symptoms including headaches, nausea, and coughing. The affected boards were sold in camouflage and galaxy patterns on Walmart.com and Amazon.com between September 2020 and December 2021. Consumers should stop using these products immediately and contact Hover-1 for a free replacement.
The lithium-ion battery inside the hoverboard can overheat during use or charging, which can lead to fires. This has resulted in several reported incidents of fire, smoke inhalation injuries, and significant property damage.
Consumers should stop using the recalled hoverboards immediately and contact Hover-1 for instructions as to how to receive a free replacement hoverboard.
