Scooters

Scooters, both motorized and non-motorized have become quite popular for children, however they pose identical risks as that of motorcycles to adults. These risks include brake system failure, faulty tires, defective handlebars, and the possibility of the accelerator to stick. The biggest concern is that the recent rise in popularity for most scooters have come with an aggressive marketing campaign geared towards children, but these campaigns fail to warn about possible dangers associated with the product. A majority of injuries occur when children fall from the scooter, or are used in areas of heavy traffic. The resulting injuries can include broken bones, dislocations, cuts, abrasions,head injuries, and even death.

  • Excite, Ltd. voluntarily recalled 80,000 scooters because of the folding mechanism causing finger injury.
  • Kent International and Kash ‘N Gold Ltd. voluntarily recalled 97,500 scooters due to the possibility of the handles unexpectedly coming loose, resulting in the rider to lose control and fall.
  • Razor USA LLC recalled 246,000 electric scooters because the welding can break, which can cause the handlebar to separate from the scooter, possibly resulting in serious injury for the rider.
