"Onewheel Skateboards Recalled After Fatalities Spark Safety Concerns"

Approximately 300,000 Onewheel electric skateboards have been recalled after four deaths and numerous injuries were reported. The recall includes models that lack a haptic buzz alert, which warns riders when the board's limits are exceeded. The US Consumer and Product Safety Commission stated that the skateboards can stop balancing, posing a crash hazard that can result in serious injury or death. Future Motion, the manufacturer of Onewheel, received dozens of incident reports, including traumatic brain injuries, fractures, and paralysis. The recall applies to various Onewheel models, and users are advised to download or update the Onewheel app for the haptic buzz alert function.
