Tech Drift is recalling about 100 self-balancing scooters, commonly known as hoverboards, because the lithium-ion battery packs can overheat. This defect creates a serious risk of the products smoking, catching fire, or exploding. These hoverboards were sold in black and white colors online at techdrift.com and amazon.com between December 2015 and April 2016 for approximately $400 to $500. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should stop using these devices immediately and contact Tech Drift for a free replacement unit.
The internal lithium-ion battery packs can overheat during use or while charging, which can cause the hoverboard to smoke, ignite, or explode, posing fire and burn hazards.
Consumers should immediately stop using these recalled scooters/hoverboards and contact Tech Drift for instructions on returning their hoverboard for a free UL2272-certified replacement unit.
