After dozens of fires started this year, experts warned that lithium batteries were found in more and more toys.
It is reported that there have been 12 incidents of spontaneous ignition at the border in the United States. S. in 2015 -
It cost thousands of dollars and even killed a family pet.
Retail giants Amazon and Wal-Mart recently announced that they will launch hoverboards.

Worry about safety.
Now, firefighters warn that many children's toys are lurking in lithium batteries that cause fires this Christmas.
From remote control cars and helicopter drones to iPads and other complex toys that need to be reinstalled, the video scrolls down
Powerful batteries are everywhere.
Becky Ogin of the South Metro Fire Rescue Company told KWGN, "These toys are just a massive influx, so that's probably why we see the fire increase . ".
Just this week, firefighters reacted to a fire in the Colorado lone tree that was caused by a boy leaving the remote control car battery to charge.
Young people are sucked in smoke and their hands and feet are burned, but firefighters warn that the situation may be worse.
'We have been lucky so far that we have not lost any lives, and people need to be careful to use these batteries and not charge them while sleeping, 'said Ogin;
Don't charge them when you are not at home.
The explosion of lithium batteries has caused so many problems that three countries in the United StatesS.
Major airlines and some smaller airlines have decided to ban hoverboards because of safety concerns.
The label is very poor. lithium is very powerful.
Delta said in a statement that the ion battery that powers the hovercraft is the problem.
Delta reviewed the hovercraft product specifications and found that the manufacturer did not consistently provide details on the size or power of lithiumion batteries.
Online retailers such as Overstock and Amazon are following suit.
A statement from Swagway, which sells suspended skateboards on Amazon, said it was happy to comply with Amazon's requirements and asked it to prove that its skateboards comply with safety regulations.
According to The Verge, The company said: "swagway has met all of these certifications and is pleased that Amazon has decided to take steps to remove low-quality motherboards.
"Since Swagway's safety has been at the forefront, we are pleased that this is happening, especially given the recent concerns about a fire with inferior batteries.
It is believed that the fire was caused by batteries used in cheaper hovercraft models, many of which were mass-produced in China and then renamed in the UK and USAS.
"It's usually because users don't have such specific steps in the process ---
Ogin said they either discharge all the way, then charge the battery, or charge the battery while it is hot.
Swagway believes that the problem stems from companies that cut corners when selecting system batteries.
"We cannot overemphasize how the caliber of the components used affects the overall safety of these boards.
So we will never compromise when using the highest quality parts.

The rapid discharge of lithium batteries can lead to overheating, fire and even explosion.
Despite the risks, small lithium batteries have been found in many devices for more than a decade, including pacemakers, smartphones, computers, iPads, watches, cameras and remote car locks.
There have been reports of similar problems in the past, such as a series of cell phone battery explosions in 2004, and Dell was forced to recall millions of laptops after the fire in 2006.
The electronics industry has strengthened the safety standards for these products, but now a larger range of lithium batteries are being used to power toys, with potentially fatal consequences.

Parents who buy a motherboard for their children face real problems because there is nothing obvious in the brand, product description or packaging that identifies them as a risk.
But a closer look at the battery label can reveal a long list of warnings to prevent fires.
