CPSC, Fisher-Price Announce Recall of Scooters and Mini Bikes

Is my product affected?

Fisher-Price® Power Wheels® Lightning PAC Scooters and Fisher-Price® Power Wheels® MX3™ Mini Bikes

  • Brand Fisher-Price, of East Aurora, N.Y.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Fisher-Price and the CPSC have recalled Lightning PAC Scooters (model 73530) and MX3 Mini Bikes (model 73535), which are battery-powered ride-on toys for children ages six and older. If the tires are over-inflated, the plastic rim inside the wheel can break, causing the tire to rupture and potentially resulting in facial and hand injuries during tire inflation. The recalled units have warning labels near the inflation valves that do not warn against inflating above 30 psi; if your scooter or mini bike's warning label does warn "Never inflate above 30 psi," it is not subject to this recall.

According to the record, consumers should immediately take the recalled scooters and mini bikes away from children and contact Fisher-Price to receive new warning labels and a free tire gauge. Fisher-Price recommends using a manual pump to inflate the tires to prevent over-inflation.
