WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- Chicago company Radio Flyer is recalling 165,000 Scoot 'n Zoom toys due to a tendency for the red plastic riders to tip over, U.S. regulators said.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said the firm has received a number of reports of accidents, including six with injuries, due to Scoot 'n Zoom toys tipping while in use.
The toys involved in the recall are model number 711, which can be found molded into the plastic on the underside of the rider. Toys with a yellow UPC sticker on the underside are not involved in the recall, the commission said.
The toys were sold nationwide from August 2010 through August 2011 for about $20.
Consumers were advised to take the toys away from children and contact Radio Flyer for a free replacement or a refund.
