I’d heard about these fires on the news before I even knew about the product themselves. Very glad the family escaped unharmed, but terrible that they have lost their home. We certainly won’t be buying a board for any of our kids. Another mean mum here too.

This is awful and good to know that the information is now out there about hover boards and hopefully this situation can now be averted.

I heard about this on the news. very scary

Multiple fires caused by these overseas, and yet still sold here? As consumers, there is no chance to know! So glad no one was hurt.

It is great that no lives were lost – but these gadgets are dangerous and warnings were out there before Christmas. It certainly makes Virgin Airlines look exonerated in their stance against ‘Rusty’ Crowe from not allowing his children’s hover boards on their airplane. My grandson has one and he has done damage to himself quite a few times.

Oh My!! That poor family.

wow that is great that they go out fine. i don’t have this hoverboard but i definately won’t be getting one either. wow.

Far out! That poor family 🙁
