This Hot New Toy Caused Almost $40,000 Dollars Worth Of Damage To A Kitchen[2]

With Christmas round the corner, Paul Hodkinson believed the perfect present for three of his grandchildren would be hoverboards.

However, he and his wife Elaine, 57, say they were lucky to escape with their lives after one of the hoverboards exploded in their kitchen, causing £25,000 worth of damage.

Mr Hodkinson, who with his wife has six grandchildren, said the £300 hoverboard – also known as a balance scooter – fizzed ‘like a firework’ before going off like a bomb in their three-bedroom semi in Deal, Kent.

He and his wife are, non surprisingly, both in shock that a toy for their grandkids would wind up like this, Though, not as shocked as they were when flames shot out of it.
