Should you buy a toy for your kid that might spontaneously catch fire and burn down your house? Hmmm… tough question! We address the issue on this week's Texas Standard radio segment, discussing why retailers are pulling so-called "hoverboards" (actually more like gyroscooters) from shelves. The Thursday segment, in which I spoke with host David Brown, starts at 17:58 and you can listen to it below. What do you think of hoverboards? Crazy idea or crazy-stupid fun? Leave a comment.
