(WHTM) – Owners of an electric scooter sold online are being warned not to use them after a Pennsylvania house fire last year.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says anyone with a Swagtron SG-5 Swagger 5 Boost Commuter Electric Scooter should "immediately stop using" them due to fire and burn hazards.

The commission says the manufacturer Swagtron "has not been responsive to CPSC's request for information about this product or for CPSC's request for a recall."

There have been seven reports of these electric scooters overheating, smoking, melting, or igniting, with one ignition resulting in a fire causing a burn injury and substantial property damage to a residential apartment building in Pittsburgh last November.

Those looking to dispose of the product should follow local hazardous waste disposal procedures.
