The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using EVERCROSS EV5 hoverboards because they pose a risk of fire to consumers.
The hoverboards in question are manufactured in China by Jinhua Smart Electric Technology, Ltd., and are sold on the internet through common retailers such as Amazon and Walmart. The hoverboards are powered by lithium-ion batteries. Despite posing a substantial risk to safety, EVERCROSS has not agreed to recall the hoverboards.
The CPSC recommends that if you have an EVERCROSS hoverboard, remove the lithium-ion batteries and dispose of them following local hazardous waste disposal procedures.
If you are injured as a result of your hoverboard battery catching fire or exploding, it is recommended that you seek immediate medical attention and experienced legal counsel.
