Recall alert: Two types of scooters recalled due to fall hazards

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced two separate recalls concerning different types of scooters.

The recall involves 11,500 scooters sold under the Hover-1 and Razor brands.

Hover-1 Dynamo E-Scooters

The CPSC said that 4,200 Hover-1 Dynamo E-Scooters have been recalled. Only certain serial numbers with the letters “WY” in the seventh and eighth letters are included. The label with the serial number is on the underside of the scooter.

The e-scooter’s brakes can fail and allow someone to fall. They were sold exclusively online on Walmart.com from November 2021 through July 2022 for $200.

If you have the scooter you’re told to stop using it and contact DGL Group for instructions on how to get a full refund. You will have to sever the motor cable and take a photo of that as well as the serial number.
