Radio Flyer has recalled the Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) Cyberquad for Kids following a consumer safety commission report that claims the four-wheeler fails to comply with safety standard requirements.
“The Cyberquad fails to comply with the federal mandatory safety standard requirements for youth ATVs, including mechanical suspension and maximum tire pressure,” according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The commission also said, “Additionally, the Cyberquad lacks a CPSC-approved ATV action plan, which is required to manufacture, import, sell, or distribute ATVs. ATV action plans contain numerous safety requirements, such as rider training, dissemination of safety information, age recommendations, and other safety measures. These ATV safety standards are in place to reduce crash and injury hazards, preventing serious injury or death.”
People who bought the ATVs can get a full refund by “removing the product’s motor controller and sending the controller back to Radio Flyer via a prepaid envelope. Removing the motor controller will permanently disable the Cyberquad. Radio Flyer is contacting all consumers directly. Directions on how to locate, remove and return the motor controller can be found on the Radio Flyer recall website.”
Shares of TSLA are up 0.63% in mid-day trading on Thursday.
