What is the hazard with Freeboy Electric Scooter sold via Amazon (2609-0134)?
Freeboy Electric Scooter sold via Amazon (2609-0134) (Freeboy) was announced in the last month, in the "Hobby/sports equipment - Scooters/Skateboards/Hoverboards (Powered)" category. The product presents a serious risk of injuries as it was not accompanied by adequate safety information, meaning the user may operate the scooter without the correct protective equipment. If the user were to lose control of the scooter and fall, they could receive injuries. There is no evidence that the product has been assessed using relevant UK conformity assessment procedures as a valid Declaration of Conformity was not supplied. In the absence of evidence to demonstrate the conformity of the product, it may be possible for it to overheat and catch fire. Improvements are also required to the product and charger labelling. The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. That is the hazard as reported publicly by the firm and the regulator; it does not necessarily mean every unit has failed.
