4 CPSC recall notices since 2000 name a kick scooter. How many are powered rather than manual, and how that compares to children's bicycles.
Kids Scooter Recalls: 4 CPSC Notices Since 2000
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission has published 4 recall notices since 2000 whose title names a kick scooter. That is a small number, and it is worth reading carefully rather than as reassurance: 1 of the 4 concern powered scooters, which this catalogue does not sell, leaving 3 that describe the manual kind.
Which of these are kick scooters
The powered-versus-manual split is the whole story on this page. Most scooter recalls in the CPSC record are for battery-powered products aimed at older riders, and those are not the products on the kids' scooter pages here.
Powered — 1 notices involve an electric, motorised or battery-powered scooter, including the Jetson recall covering three-wheel kick children's scooters with lithium batteries.
Manual — 3 notices describe non-powered kick scooters, both of them Fisher-Price scooter and mini-bike recalls from the early 2000s, both of them far older than any product in this catalogue.
How this compares to the other vehicle categories
The same dataset holds 44 children's bicycle notices, 2 balance-bike notices and 59 children's helmet notices. Kick scooters sit at the bottom of that range. A low recall count is not evidence that a product is well made: it reflects how old the category is, how few products were sold under this name, and how recently it appeared.
