Rhode Island College Bans Hoverboards

Hoverboards are banned on at least one college campus in Rhode Island.  Salve Regina University ordered a ban on the products this week amid a safety investigation by federal officials.  This means hoverboards are no longer allowed in dorms, academic buildings or elsewhere in the area.  School officials say they'll lift the ban if the safety issue is addressed.  In recent weeks there have been reports of the lithium ion batteries causing explosions and fires.
