Elon Musk may have won the Twitter war, but his Tesla Cyberquad for Kids by Radio Flyer has lost its battle with the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC). According to the recall notice, Tesla and Radio Flyer failed to create an ATV action plan… Even Elon has to play by these rules! On October 27, CPSC issued the following recall notice:
Hazard:
The Cyberquad fails to comply with the federal mandatory safety standard requirements for youth ATVs, including mechanical suspension and maximum tire pressure. 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.
Remedy:
Refund
The number of Cyberquads impacted by the recall is approximately 5,000 units.
