Just one word. Hoverboards.

Their batteries not universally designed well. Prone to fires and now banned as hold/carry-on baggage by most airlines

I don't see a problem with well designed batteries, I do see a problem with industries where good design is not important and where their time pressures dictate that they take risks.

It's unlikely that regulations can improve their safety records. But perhaps aviation regulations can save some lives.
