Customs seizes hundreds of counterfeit hoverboards at Port of Miami





U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized about 300 counterfeit hoverboards last week at the Port
of Miami.

Officials say the total estimated retail price of the counterfeit boards is $94,000. Officials say they arrived from China and contained batteries with a fake LG trademark logo.

Customs and Border Protection Port Director Dylan

DeFrancisci says the seizure of the fake two-wheeled motorized scooters helps ensure that a product has genuine parts and is safe.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission said it has received dozens of reports of hoverboard-related injuries across the country.
