Hover board — part toy, part transportation.
These self-balancing scooters have quickly become
the latest fad. However, many hover boards
have been linked to fires. NFPA urges you to
be fire safe when usingthese devices.

Signs of a Problem
Some hover board fires have
involved the Lithium-Ion battery or
charger. Signs you could have a
problem:
• Leaking fluids
• Excessive heat
• Odor
• Sparking
• Smoke
If you notice any of these signs,
stop using the device right away.
Call 9-1-1. If safe to do so, move
the hover board outside away from
anything that can burn.

>>> Choose a device with the seal of an independent
testing laboratory.
>>> Read and follow all manufacturer directions. If you
do not understand the directions, ask for help.
>>> An adult should be responsible for charging the
hover board.
>>> Do not leave a charging hover board unattended.
>>> Never leave the hover board plugged in overnight.
>>> Only use the charging cord that came with the
hover board.
>>> Stop using your hover board if it overheats.
>>> Extreme hot or cold temperature can hurt the
battery.
