More than half a million hoverboards are being recalled.
Officials say the lithium-ion battery packs are causing over 500,000 hoverboards to smoke, catch fire, and even explode.
The official recall comes after months of safety concerns about the hoverboards catching fire. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says those who have hoverboards on the recall list should stop using them immediately.
Call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772 to see if your hoverboard brand is on the list.
