Drone Nerds has recalled about 700 self-balancing scooters, commonly known as hoverboards, because the lithium-ion battery packs can overheat. This defect poses a serious risk of the products smoking, catching fire, or exploding. These hoverboards were sold in various colors at Drone Nerds retail locations and online between November 2015 and March 2016 for approximately $300. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and return them to receive a full refund or store credit.
The internal lithium-ion batteries are prone to overheating during use or charging, which can lead to fires or explosions. While no injuries have been reported for this specific model, these types of battery failures can cause significant property damage and personal injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled hoverboards and contact Drone Nerds to return the unit to receive a full refund or store credit.
