Hoverboard explosion at Texas mall causes evacuation; customer was trying to return faulty device when it burst into flames BY Alfred Ng NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Monday, December 28, 2015, 6:05 PM Watch the video http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.2479069 NY Daily News A dissatisfied hoverboard customer tried returning the device at a Texas mall on Monday, only to see it blow up in his face. A hoverboard burst into flames inside a box as a customer tried returning the faulty self-balancing scooter at Deerbrook Mall on Monday afternoon, the Humble Fire Department told the Daily News. The toy had all the signs pointing to a possible explosion: the device had a faulty battery and couldn’t hold a charge, the upset customer told the hoverboard merchant at the mall kiosk. As the hoverboard salesman tried charging the device to prove the unhappy customer wrong, the self-balancing scooter exploded in a blaze, fire officials said.
