Next, if you're hoping for a hoverboard for Christmas,

:00:18.:00:32.

Experts are warning that some of them aren't well made,

:00:33.:00:37.

Hoverboards, segways, self balancing scooters,

:00:38.:00:51.

whatever you want to call them, they are one of the most popular

:00:52.:00:54.

gifts being asked for this Christmas.

:00:55.:00:57.

I want a hoverboard so I can reach my destination quickly. I am getting

:00:58.:01:04.

a hoverboard for Christmas, because a lot of famous people have it, such

:01:05.:01:13.

as Tiger and Justin Bieber. You can show your own style to people.

:01:14.:01:16.

But Trading Standards, an organisation that makes sure that

:01:17.:01:18.

products are safe for people to use, have taken away more than 15,000

:01:19.:01:21.

hoverboards in the UK because they're unsafe.

:01:22.:01:23.

Many had faulty plugs and were at risk of overheating

:01:24.:01:25.

Hi, guys, I work for Trading Standards and I've come

:01:26.:01:32.

To talk to you about hoverboards. How do you know of a hoverboard is

:01:33.:01:42.

faulty? It would be difficult to find out because a lot of the

:01:43.:01:45.

problems are inside the mechanism, but if you bought one and you got

:01:46.:01:50.

the plug out of it and you could see and it looks like a normal plug,

:01:51.:01:54.

that is an indication it might be a problem with the whole thing. What

:01:55.:01:57.

should we do to take care of a hoverboard? If you're going to

:01:58.:02:02.

charge it up, do it during the day to make sure someone is around to

:02:03.:02:06.

see if there is a problem. Is there a safe or reliable place to buy a

:02:07.:02:11.

hoverboard from? We are finding problems in lots of places, online,

:02:12.:02:15.

and even some of the big chain stores have had to recall their

:02:16.:02:18.

products. At the moment it is quite difficult to find a place where you

:02:19.:02:22.

can guarantee you will get a safe one. How are the faulty hoverboards

:02:23.:02:27.

getting to the UK? All of the ones we have found so far are imported

:02:28.:02:30.

from China. They are put on the plane, come over here and customs

:02:31.:02:34.

check a lot of the products, but so many coming through the airport that

:02:35.:02:37.

they cannot check everyone, so sometimes that's how they got in the

:02:38.:02:41.

shops. Do you guys still want a hoverboard? Yes. Maybe, I don't

:02:42.:02:46.

know. I'm in the middle. If you could check it is safe, it would be

:02:47.:02:50.

a cool ride. continues in Cumbria
