What's being recalled

Children's Riding Toy

Units: About 15,500

The recalled product is an X-Rider Car. It is a red, plastic toy scooter with a yellow handlebar and seat, and two blue stickers that simulate headlights. It is 14 inches high, 14 inches wide and 19 inches long. The middle of the handle bar contains the Step2 logo. Step2's contact information is located on the rider's left side of the car. Children use their feet to propel the toy.

The problem, in CPSC's words

Children who lean too far forward on the seat can go over the handle bar and hit the ground. This poses a fall hazard.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

The firm has received four reports of incidents, with one incident resulting in head bumps and one resulting in a minor concussion and cuts to the gum and lip from the child's front teeth.

What CPSC says to do

Replace

Consumers should immediately take the recalled toy away from children and contact Step2 to receive a free replacement toy.
