Hazard

The front wheel is too small and could easily get stuck in holes in the ground while a child is riding causing the child to fall and suffer injuries. In addition, the diameter of the handlebar ends is too small. If a child falls on them, this may cause injuries. The stability of the steering column is not sufficient and, under load, the steering column could bend. Finally, there are accessible gaps between moving parts and accessible sharp edges, which may cause injuries to the fingers. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Toy Safety Directive and the relevant European standard EN 71-1.

Measures taken

  • Withdrawal of the product from the market — Other
  • Recall of the product from end users — Other (03/07/2015)
