The Jetson Rogue skateboard has been recalled after a fire that killed two children

A Pennsylvania State Fire Commission notice states that a Pennsylvania firefighter has determined Jetson Rogue to be the starting point of a fire that has claimed the lives of two children. The children’s parents sued Jetson and Target they said they purchased the skateboard for, alleging that the two companies should have known the risks of fire-related injuries because of the Jetson Rogue’s design. (The parents originally sued Walmart, but amended their complaint to sue Target.)

The CPSC also says that “there have been several other reports of retrieved scooter/float boards burning, sparking, or melting, many of which include reports of flames.” CPSC and Jetson urge customers to stop using and shipping Jetson Rogues and contact Jetson for a refund.

The Rogue recall affects approximately 53,000 units of hoverboards sold by Target from August 2018 through June 2019 and on the Jetson website from January 2019 through November 2021. If you have an affected unit, you may contact Jetson through the instructions in the CPSC notice or on the Jetson websitewhich includes images that can help you determine if you have one of the recalled forms.

Other Jetson hoverboard models are not part of the recall, and are still for sale.
