Hoverboard Safety
Dr. JJ and Kym team up to talk about some guidelines and the safety basics of using a Hoverboard. A Hoverboard is a self-balancing skateboard that is powered by lithium carbonate batteries. Several injuries like fractures, sprains, contusions and head injuries have been reported. The batteries are directly beneath the foot plate - if the covering is compromised the liquid inside can leak and is extremely flammable! Amazon and Target have temporarily suspended sales. Be sure to check the manufacturer’s warranty before you buy and look for recall notifications.

Chef Katsuji Tanabe returns to Home & Family to prepare a flavorful sandwich using pork roast and Chimichurri sauce! The chef talks about his Cuban stepfather and the great dinner they enjoy on New Year’s Eve. Cristina helps out with the dish by preparing the marinade- it is important to roast the pork overnight for more flavor. Since pork tenderloin can be dry, the sauce is key!
