Consumer Product Safety
Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Fluke Battery
Just this week, 15,000 such hoverboards were seized in the UK after inspection authorities deemed the devices unsafe. Although the device has become extremely popular in the UK, local authorities were prompted to act after multiple reports of fires and explosions associated with hoverboards.
But even with reports of exploding hoverboards becoming more common in recent weeks with battery such as Fluke 123 Battery, Fluke 123S Battery, Fluke BP120 Battery, Fluke BP130 Battery, Fluke BP190 Battery, Fluke 190 Battery, Fluke 190C Battery, Fluke 192 Battery, Fluke 192B Battery, Fluke 196 Battery, Fluke 196B Battery, Fluke 196C Battery, as the holiday season approaches, it will likely be hard for many parents to deny their child one of the hottest gadgets this year.
A fire department official commenting in the Florida case advises parents to look for UL-approved hoverboards, but with so many of the devices coming from varying, sometimes mysterious provenances, at this point, even that might not be enough to put some consumer minds at ease.
"CPSC is looking at hoverboard-type products," Patty Davis, a spokesperson for the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, told Mashable. However, no details regarding which hoverboard brands or how long the commission's study of the new product category will last were disclosed.
According to the CPSC, the majority of hoverboard reports to the agency have mostly been related to those that required a trip the hospital (falling, etc.), with only one report of a hoverboard-type product catching on fire.
So while the holiday season is upon us, unfortunately, hoverboards are such a new category that some official agencies are still in the process of evaluating them. Other than simply not buying one at all, for now, some are advising a healthy dose of caution.
"Follow manufacturer’s instructions when using and charging the hoverboard," says Davis. "Do not charge a hoverboard overnight ... We urge consumers to report incidents to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov."
