Denver, CO personal injury attorney George McLaughlin talks about who you can sue for your Onewheel Skateboard accident injuries. The recommended course of action involves initiating legal proceedings against the manufacturer, specifically Future Motion, a company situated in San Jose, California. Future Motion was the direct seller of the Onewheel to consumers, with uncertainties surrounding the presence of retailers. A majority of clients acquired the Onewheel directly from the manufacturer. The ongoing legal dispute concerning the Onewheel centers on two primary issues.

Firstly, during Onewheel operation, with speeds reaching 15-18 miles per hour, riders may encounter sudden pushback, leading to ejections from the device. The second issue pertains to the Onewheel unexpectedly propelling forward when a rider steps off it, contrary to its intended immediate stop. This specific problem prompted the recall of the Onewheel GT model due to a foot pad sensing issue.

The attorney provides a tangible representation of the Onewheel, showcasing the specific model, the Onewheel GT, which exhibited the mentioned issues. The attorney narrates an incident involving a client, captured by a Ring doorbell, where stepping off the Onewheel resulted in it shooting out and causing harm to the client’s four-year-old stepdaughter. The severity of such incidents led to the product’s recall through the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission.
