UK Retailer Stops Selling Onewheel Boards After US Recall Over Crash Deaths

UK retailer The Snowboard Shop has stopped selling Onewheel electric skateboards following a recall in the US.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled 300,000 Onewheel devices after 4 deaths were linked to crashes while riding them.
The recall covers all models of Onewheel skateboards. The CPSC cited dozens of injury reports including fractures, paralysis, and traumatic brain injuries.
Onewheel manufacturer Future Motion is facing 31 lawsuits from riders alleging the devices unexpectedly shut off or stopped while in use.
Future Motion says it will offer a safety feature called "haptic buzz" to alert riders before the board loses balance, but only newer models are compatible. Older boards get a $100 credit.
