Peg Perego is recalling about 3,000 of its 850 Polaris Sportsman 24-volt battery-operated toy vehicles. A component on the circuit board can fail, which causes the motor to overheat and potentially catch fire. There have been three reports of overheating, including one report of a consumer suffering a burn. These silver, red, and black ATV-style toys were sold online at major retailers between October 2014 and April 2016 for approximately $500 to $600.
A relay on the vehicle's circuit board can malfunction, causing the motor to overheat and ignite. This poses a direct fire hazard to the child and a risk of burn injuries, as evidenced by one reported burn incident.
Consumers should immediately stop children from using the recalled toy vehicles and contact Peg Perego to receive a free replacement circuit board with instructions, including shipping. Consumers can also access the installation instructions on the firm's website. Peg Perego is contacting known customers directly.
