Jetson Electric Bikes is recalling about 53,000 of its 42-volt Rogue self-balancing scooters, also known as hoverboards, because the lithium-ion battery packs can overheat and catch fire. There have been multiple reports of these hoverboards burning, sparking, or melting, including one tragic fire in Pennsylvania that resulted in the deaths of two sisters, ages 10 and 15. The recalled hoverboards have light-up hubcaps and were sold in black, blue, red, pink, and purple at Target stores and online between August 2018 and November 2021 for approximately $100 to $150.
The internal lithium-ion battery pack can overheat during use or charging, posing an immediate fire hazard that can lead to property damage, serious injury, or death. Two fatalities have already been linked to a fire involving this specific model.
Consumers should immediately stop using and stop charging the recalled scooters/hoverboards and contact Jetson for a full refund. Jetson is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Affected units have a charge port with 3 pins located to the left of the power button and do not have a barcode on the bottom label.
