Dynacraft is recalling about 5,200 electric Hello Kitty City Scooters because they can accelerate suddenly and unexpectedly while in use. This defect can cause riders to lose control and fall, leading to injuries. The firm has received nine reports of these scooters accelerating on their own, including three instances where children suffered injuries such as a bloody nose and bruises. These pink and black scooters were sold exclusively at Toys R Us stores and online between October 2012 and January 2013 for approximately $279.
The scooter's internal mechanisms can cause it to speed up suddenly without rider input, which can throw the child off balance or cause them to lose control of the steering, resulting in a fall or collision.
Consumers should immediately stop using the City Scooter, disconnect the battery and return it to the nearest Toys R Us store to receive a full refund or store credit.
