The brand of the malfunctioning hoverboard that erupted in flames and led to the deaths of two children (http://mashable.com/2017/03/18/hoverboard-fire-second-death-federal-investigation/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) in March has been identified.*
On Monday, following a month-long investigation, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC (http://mashable.com/category/CPSC/?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=)) revealed that it has evidence that the product involved in the incident was the LayZ Board hoverboard.*
The deaths of a 10-year-old and 3-year-old in Pennsylvania were the first confirmed fatalities related to hoverboard fires in the U.S., although several other fires have caused massive destruction and injuries.*
