Back in the 2000s, the Razor Scooter was a hot new Christmas item.[1]<\/a>\u00a0 This trend was followed by the Segway.[2]<\/a>\u00a0 Christmas of 2015 was the season of the hoverboard,[3]<\/a>\u00a0 but this Christmas season was not followed by just fun and games.\u00a0 Besides the various compilation videos<\/a> of people falling off of hoverboards and suffering from bumps, bruises, and embarrassment, many people have been more seriously injured. Others have watched as their new toy burned before their eyes.<\/p>\n

The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) is still investigating the issue of hoverboards catching on fire, and cautions users not only about the possibility of battery fire, but also the danger of falling citing \u201cconcussions, fractures, contusions\/abrasions, and internal organ injuries as possible dangers.\u201d[4]<\/a>\u00a0 National Public Radio (NPR) reports the fires are likely the cause of faulty lithium-ion batteries of poor quality.[5]<\/a><\/p>\n

When buying a hoverboard, the CPSC recommends the following guidelines:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Avoid buying the product at a location or website that does not have information about the seller or how to contact them in case something goes wrong.<\/li>\n
  2. Do not charge the hoverboard overnight.<\/li>\n
  3. Do not charge the hoverboard when you are unable to observe it.<\/li>\n
  4. Charge and store in an open dry area away from things that can catch fire.<\/li>\n
  5. Do not charge the hoverboard directly after riding.\u00a0 Let the device cool for at least an hour.[6]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Follow these five practices to prevent falling off your hoverboard, and stay safe while still aboard:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Wear a helmet. Elbow pads, knee pads, and wrist guards are also recommended.<\/li>\n
    2. Follow the directions to calibrate your hoverboard.<\/li>\n
    3. Step on the hoverboard in the middle with a wide a stance that you are comfortable holding.<\/li>\n
    4. Step backwards<\/em> when getting off the hoverboard.<\/li>\n
    5. Look ahead, not down, to keep your posture straight and maintain control of the board.[7]<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      During the time the CPSC is investigating the safety of hoverboards, the Commission urges users to report any and all incidents to them.\u00a0 You can do so by clicking here<\/a>. Also, don\u2019t forget to pay attention to local regulations and laws.\u00a0 Hoverboards are not allowed on airlines.[8]<\/a>\u00a0 Some stores and business prohibit hoverboards, and other states are passing laws to regulate their use.[9]<\/a><\/p>\n

      Allen & Allen is currently investigating cases on behalf of owners of self-balancing scooters, more commonly known as \u201choverboards.\u201d If you or a family member has been injured while using a hoverboard, contact the attorneys at Allen & Allen online or by calling\u00a01-866-388-1307.<\/p>\n
