- 8 years ago
Amazon is pulling some hoverboards from its site after numerous reports of fires caused by the popular gadget caused a safety concern.
Links to Swagway, a major seller of hoverboards, and other companies have been removed from Amazon's site, Best Reviews first reported.
"As safety is always on the forefront for Swagway, we're glad that this is taking place, especially in light of recent concerns with the fires with the poor quality batteries," Swagway said in the statement.
Hoverboards have also been prohibited on multiple airlines and cities.
Delta, American, and United airlines banned hoverboards on planes this past week because they pose as a fire danger.
