USCPSC, Fisher-Price Announce Recall of Scooters and Mini Bikes
Recalling Firm: Fisher-Price, of East Aurora, N.Y.
Reason for Recall / Hazard
If tires are over-inflated, the plastic rim within the wheel can break, causing the tire to rupture. This poses the risk of facial and hand injuries while inflating the tire.
Product Description & Identification
The recalled Lightning PAC Scooters and MX3 Mini Bikes are battery-powered ride-on toys designed for children ages six and older. The product names are located on the side of the scooter or mini bike. The recalled scooter's model number is 73530. The recalled mini bike's model number is 73535. The model numbers are located inside the battery compartment. The recalled scooters or mini bikes have a warning label located near the inflation valves.
