Hoverboards Can Now Be Seized Over Explosion Risk, US Govt Warns

Get your hoverboards while they’re hot. The U.S. government has called on retailers and manufacturers to stop selling versions of the self-balancing, two-wheel electric toys that don’t meet safety standards. 

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, known as the CPSC, issued a notice to stores and importers asking them to voluntarily take hoverboards off the shelves unless they meet government standards.
