“A LayZ Board hoverboard was involved in the deadly fire in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania that claimed the lives of two young children. The fire risk with this product is serious. Consumers should immediately stop using and stop charging the LayZ Board—it’s just not worth the risk to your safety and the safety of your family.
My thoughts continue to be with the families affected by this terrible tragedy. The cooperation of the families and the Harrisburg Fire Department has been critical to our investigation. I want to thank them for their time and help. Their information was key to CPSC announcing this safety warning.
Anyone who owns a hoverboard should visit CPSC.gov for safety information and to check to see whether the product they own has been recalled.”
