What is the danger
The steering tubes are not resistant to load and can easily collapse during use, causing a child to fall off the scooter and suffer injuries. Moreover, the scooter is not equipped with a braking system., causing a problematic speed reduction, which may lead to accidents. Furthermore, the diameter of the front wheels of the scooter is too small (measured value: 110 mm), which can lead the scooter's wheel to become stuck on an uneven surface and the child falling, suffering injuries. Additionally, the plastic of the packaging is too thin. If a child plays with the packaging, the plastic can cover the mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate.
