The latest and greatest media hyped threat: Hoverboards
Trading Standards officers seize 15,000 unsafe hoverboards - BBC News
In generally, these devices are causing issues when being charged. As cargo, in their retail packaging and never having been used, there are no documented incidents.
By hyping the risk up in the media and making it harder to move or ship, you create an environment where unscrupulous shippers tender these as general cargo and do not declared the hazard, which is more dangerous than the risk of the battery.
Clandestine or illegal shipments being shipped as mail or small package via courier are also great concerns to safety and pose risks. The industry has been finding undeclared or mis-declared shipments on a more regular basis.
When properly declared and tendered, the risk of this has been mitigated to its lowest level and are acceptable to transport.
