CPSC recalls Konges Sløjd scooters over wheel-detachment fall hazard
The CPSC says the scooters pose a fall hazard and that Konges Sløjd has received 18 reports of wheel detachment, including three injuries.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says certain Konges Sløjd three-wheeled children’s scooters are being recalled because the left front wheel can detach during use, creating a fall hazard.
The agency says the defect has led to 18 reports of wheel detachment and three injuries, including one broken arm and one child’s lost tooth. The notice says consumers should stop using the scooters immediately.
The recalled scooters are beige, have a T-shaped handle and a foot brake, and were sold in two models: KS101544-P00005 with a cherry print and KS101544-P00038 with a lemon print. Both models carry batch number 062024, which the notice says is on the information sticker on the bottom of the scooter.
According to the CPSC notice, consumers can contact Konges Sløjd for a full refund or voucher. One remedy option is to provide a photo of the scooter disassembled by removing the scooter stem from the base. Another option is to return the unit to the store where it was purchased.
The recall notice lists consumer contact at [email protected] and business contact at [email protected]. It also points readers to the company’s online recall page.
