Summary

The Step2 Company is recalling about 15,500 X-Rider Cars, which are red plastic ride-on toys with yellow handlebars and seats. The toy can tip forward if a child leans too far over the handlebars, causing them to fall and hit the ground. There have been four reports of incidents, including one child who suffered a minor concussion and cuts to their gums and lips. These toys were sold at Target and other retailers from January 2012 through August 2012 for about $25. Consumers should take the toy away from children immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement.

Risk

Children who lean too far forward while seated can cause the toy to tip over the front handlebar, resulting in falls that can lead to head injuries, concussions, or facial cuts.
