March 26, 2024 — Safety officials are warning consumers to immediately stop using Evercross EV5 Hoverboards after a fire was reported in New York City.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a Safety Warning because EVERCROSS EV5 Hoverboards pose a fire hazard.
The hoverboard was linked to one report of a fire that caused “substantial property damage to a residential building in New York City in May 2023,” according to the safety warning.
Consumers can identify the hoverboards with the name “EVERCROSS” printed on the front. The hoverboards may be black, blue or pink. They were sold online on Amazon.com, eBay.com, Likesporting.com, Lowes.com, Newegg.com, Ridefaboard.com and Walmart.com from July 2021 to the present.
The hoverboards were manufactured in China by Jinhua Smart Electric Technology Co. Ltd., but the company has not agreed to recall the hoverboards or offer a remedy to consumers.
Therefore, the CPSC is urging consumers to immediately remove the battery packs from the hoverboards and dispose of them according to local hazardous waste laws.
