CPSC, Fisher-Price Announce Recall of Scooters and Mini Bikes
Fisher-Price, of East Aurora, N.Y.
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.
Remedy
Consumers should take the recalled scooters and mini bikes away from children immediately and contact Fisher-Price to receive new warning labels and a free tire gauge to provide assistance during inflation. To prevent over-inflation, Fisher-Price recommends using a manual pump to inflate the tires.
