Vecaro LifeStyle is recalling about 500 Glide65, Drift8, and Trek10 self-balancing scooters, often called hoverboards, because their lithium-ion battery packs can overheat. There have been three reports of these hoverboards smoking, which indicates a serious defect that can lead to fires or explosions. The recalled units were sold in various colors including black, white, red, blue, metallic gold, metallic silver, graffiti white, and red flame print. Consumers should return the unit to Vecaro for a free repair or a credit toward a newer, safety-certified model.
The lithium-ion battery packs in these hoverboards can overheat and fail, causing the device to smoke, catch fire, or explode. While no injuries have been reported, these types of battery failures pose a significant risk of fire and property damage.
