E-Scooter Warning After 2 Die in House Fire

Toos electric scooters are a fire hazard and people should stop using them, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warned Monday.

Two people recently died in an apartment fire that local fire officials determined was caused by the lithium-ion battery in a Toos Elite 60-volt scooter, the CPSC said in a news release. The CPSC said the scooter has not been certified by an accredited laboratory to the UL safety standard. UL Solutions issued a public notice concerning these 48-volt chargers because they are marked with unauthorized UL certification.The business, Toos Urban Ride, has refused to recall the scooters, the CPSC said.

Toos asserts that the CPSC technical staff evaluated a Toos 60-volt scooter and “did not identify any apparent defects with the exemplar sample.”
