Yuka Clothing is recalling about 800 self-balancing scooters, commonly known as hoverboards, because their lithium-ion battery packs can overheat. This defect poses a serious risk of the products smoking, catching fire, or exploding. There have been two reports of incidents, including one instance of a hoverboard sparking and another where the device shut off while in use. These hoverboards were sold in various colors under several brand names including Wheeli, 2 Wheelz, and Back to the Future between June 2015 and May 2016 for $400 to $900. Consumers should stop using these products immediately and contact Yuka Clothing for a full refund.
