Hauck Fun For Kids is recalling approximately 26,300 Nerf Battle Racer go-karts because the steering wheel can detach, break, or crack while in use. There have been 639 reports of steering wheel failures, including two incidents that resulted in injuries to a child's face and chest. The four-wheel pedal-powered go-karts were sold at major retailers like Target, Walmart, and Toys R Us, as well as online at Amazon.com, between January 2016 and March 2017. Consumers should immediately stop using the go-kart and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement steering wheel.
The steering wheel can suddenly break or come off during operation, causing a child to lose control and collide with objects or fall. Broken pieces of the steering wheel can also cause deep cuts or lacerations, as evidenced by a report of a child requiring stitches to their face.
Consumer should immediately stop using the recalled go-karts and contact Hauck for a new steering wheel.
