Indigo Books & Music Inc. has voluntarily recalled Masterkidz wooden Vespa Style scooters, with UPC numbers 882709082088 (blue) 882709082095 (red), as the tires may explode during the inflating process.
Although instructions state that tires should be inflated to "35 PSI,” the plastic rims pieces can fly off at over 25 PSI. Five incidents of exploding tires were reported to Indigo, though no one injuries occurred.
Customers are advised not to inflate the tires and to stop using the scooter. Affected scooters should be returned to the retailer for a full refund, no receipt required.
