Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Segway is reannouncing the recall of approximately 24 Off-Board Chargers (part number 23288-00001) used for Segway Personal Transporters. These black, box-shaped chargers were sold by authorized dealers and Segway Inc. from January 2015 through April 2017. A wire inside the charger can detach and make contact with the side of the unit, creating a risk of electric shock for the user. Consumers should immediately stop using these chargers and contact Segway for a free replacement power cord that includes a built-in ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

Risk

A internal wire can become disconnected and touch the charger's metal casing, posing a serious electric shock hazard to anyone who handles the device while it is plugged in.
