Dynacraft is recalling about 5,500 Monster High City Scooters because they can accelerate suddenly and unexpectedly while in use. There have been nine reports of unintended acceleration, including three incidents where riders suffered minor injuries like a bloody nose and bruises. These battery-operated scooters are purple and black and were sold exclusively at Walmart stores and online from November 2012 to January 2013 for approximately $249. Consumers should stop using the scooters and return them to Walmart for a full refund or store credit.
The scooter's motor can engage suddenly without rider input, causing a loss of control that can lead to falls and injuries. Nine incidents have been reported, with three resulting in injuries including facial bruising and a bloody nose.
Consumers should immediately stop using the City Scooter, disconnect the battery and return it to the nearest Walmart store to receive a full refund or store credit.
