Recall of electric scooters
The Razor electric scooters was asked by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission to undergo a recall, which means that this vehicle would no longer be used, the government instructs the consumers not to utilize recalled products unless otherwise notified.
One of the concerns raised against the products was the hazard that, the weld on it was prone to breaking which could cause the handlebar to disengage from the scooter’s body. This means that the rider might lose control or worse fall off the scooter. To further corroborate this claim, they released reports of incidents and injuries related to Razor electric scooters.
An overall tally of 261 cases of the handle bar breaking or bending was reported last year which resulted in 16 injuries, most of them broken arms and lacerations. In the end, the proposed resolution for this incident by the commission was to stop using the said scooters at once and have them repaired with no fee by their manufacturers.
