With several news articles and publicized bans on Hoverboards (or similar “self-balancing scooters” and related battery-powered devices) consumers, distributors, retailers, and manufacturers have been challenged with certifying the safety of these devices, despite a lack of certification programs. Currently, there are multiple efforts underway globally to address these concerns, and offer solutions for this industry.
