Jetson Skateboard Recall: Rogue’s famous self-balancing board is linked to fires, 2 deaths

Washington – We have a recall alert for our popular hoverboard that has been sold out online and in Target stores.

Consumer Product Safety Commission The Jetson Rogue’s 42-volt self-balancing skateboard poses a fire hazard and has been linked to at least two fatalities, the CPSC says.

A 10-year-old girl and her 15-year-old sister died in a fire on April 1, 2022 in Hellertown, Pennsylvania. The Hellertown Borough Fire Marshal determined that the 42-volt Jetson Rogue was the starting point for the fire, the CPSC said.

The agency says there have been several other reports of recovered scooters/hoverboards burning, exploding or melting, many of which included reports of flames.

According to the CPSC, recalled hoverboards were sold at Target stores nationwide and online at www.target.com from August 2018 through June 2019 and at www.ridejetson.com from January 2019 through November 2021 for between $100 and $150.

If you have one of these panels, we urge you to stop using the product and contact Jetson for a full refund.
