US Customs and Borders Protection has seized over 16,000 counterfeit hoverboards. The trendy death-wheelies are sitting in a warehouse in Chicago awaiting processing. Since they canāt be sold, theyāll be destroyed.
Of course, literally every hoverboard could be called ācounterfeitā on the grounds that they donāt FREAKING HOVER, but that battle has been fought and lost.
Thatās 16,000 small housefires, mercifully avoided. Somewhere, Russell Crowe sheds a single tear.
Update 2:30pm: āThey will ultimately get destroyed,ā US Customs and Borders Protection public affairs officer Kris Grogan told Gizmodo.
