Amazon stops selling hoverboards

LONDON:- Major “hoverboard” maker Swagway has confirmed that Amazon has stopped selling its products in the UK and US. The company said it welcomed the move but that it has met all of the safety requirements requested by Amazon. It follows a London Fire Brigade warning in October after a rideable board on charge in a bedroom in Southwark caught fire. Newsbeat has searched Amazon and can only find accessories for the devices still for sale. Trading standards recently warned that the demand for them had led to a big increase in cheap and dangerous imitations which can be flammable.–BBC
