A U.S. federal consumer safety watchdog announced a recall involving hundreds of thousands of Onewheel electric skateboards after the company that manufactures the product received dozens of incident reports, including four deaths and numerous serious injuries.

In a notice on Sept. 29, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and California-based Future Motion Inc. said all models, or about 300,000 skateboards, are being recalled because the product “can stop balancing the rider if the boards’ limits are exceeded, posing a crash hazard that can result in serious injury or death.”
