Be careful if you plan on buying a hoverboard this year for Christmas. There are a lot of knockoff and cheap versions out there that can lead to some awful situations like this.
A Louisiana mother said after only one ride, her son’s hoverboard started “to shoot sparks” while charging and “within minutes the entire room was in flames.”
Their home was destroyed after a new hoverboard suddenly exploded and set their house on fire.
Jessica Horne said she recently bought her 12-year-old son, Hayden, a hoverboard, also known as a self-balancing scooter, from Amazon through a company called Fiturbo.
