This is the best summary I could come up with:


At the time, the company issued a press release in objection to the CPSC and called the agency’s statements “unjustified and alarmist.”

Now Future Motion is moving forward with a voluntary recall it chose not to do almost a year earlier.

“This update is the culmination of months of work with the CPSC,” reads the company’s recall website.

For early adopters, however, owners can receive a “pro-rated credit of $100 to the purchase of a new board,” according to Mudd.

Alongside Future Motion’s blink on the decision to recall Onewheel, the company shared a new video on YouTube highlighting the new Haptic Buzz feature as well as best practices when riding.

“We’ve been working closely with the CPSC for over a year in order to develop this new safety feature,” Mudd says in the video.
