Maxx, and Marshalls nationwide between December 2015 and December 2016 for approximately $300 to $400.

The lithium-ion battery packs can internally overheat and fail, causing the device to smoke, catch fire, or explode. This can lead to serious burn injuries or structural fires if the hoverboard is being used or charged indoors.
