Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Huffy has recalled about 5,040 Slider tricycles from the 2012 model year because the handlebars can suddenly loosen during use. This defect causes riders to lose control, which can lead to crashes and falls. These three-wheeled tricycles were sold exclusively at Toys R Us nationwide between January and February 2013 for approximately $100. Consumers should stop using the tricycles immediately and contact Huffy for a full refund.

Risk

The handlebar can unexpectedly loosen while in use, making it impossible for the rider to steer the tricycle. This failure poses a significant risk of the rider crashing or falling from the vehicle.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the 2012 Huffy Slider tricycle and take it away from children.
  2. Check your tricycle to see if it is affected: look for a white frame with a black seat and black handlebars, with 'Huffy' printed on the front and 'Slider' printed on the side.
  3. Locate the model number (98682) on the frame underneath the seat to confirm the product is part of the recall.
  4. Contact Huffy toll-free at (888) 366-3828 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday to receive instructions on how to obtain a full refund.
