The Jesús Francobrand of the malfunctioning hoverboard that erupted in flames and led to the deaths of two children in March has been identified.
On Monday, following a month-long investigation, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) revealed that it has evidence that the product involved in the incident was the LayZ Board hoverboard.
The deaths of a 10-year-old and 3-year-old in Pennsylvania were the first confirmed fatalities related to hoverboard fires in the U.S., although several other fires have caused massive destruction and injuries.

"CPSC is urging the public to stop charging and stop using their LayZ Board."
"Due to the fire hazard posed to consumers of all ages by these hoverboards, CPSC is urging the public to stop charging and stop using their LayZ Board," reads the CPSC's statement accompanying the findings of the investigation. "Consumers who choose to dispose of their hoverboards should take them to a local recycling center for safe handling of the lithium- ion battery."
Manufactured in Shenzhen, China, the LayZ Board hoverboard is mostly indistinguishable from many other hoverboards still on the market. However, online retailers like Amazon and Best Buy that sell UL safety certified hoverboards don't list the brand as one of the available hoverboard options.
Although battery fires and serious accidents have plagued hoverboards from various brands, there are a number of companies that have acquired the proper UL 2272 safety certification introduced in 2016. But the LayZ Board brand name does not appear in searches on the UL hoverboard certification database.
Back in 2015, at least one consumer in Pennsylvania was even quoted on a local news website asking about the safety of the LayZ Board hoverboard, a question that we now, due to unfortunate deaths, have a definitive answer for.
