Jetson Children’s Scooters Recall Class Action Lawsuit

On June 1, 2023, a recall was issued by Jetson Electric Bikes for 15,300 children’s scooters, which have a defective rear wheel that can come off during use. Children riding on the scooter can end up with serious fall-related injuries, which is why consumers are urged to stop using the scooters immediately. So far, the company has received 12 reports of the back wheel loosening or falling out, and one report of injuries to a child’s face.

The recalled scooters include the Jetson Star and Nova 3-wheels Kick Scooters in green, blue, teal, red, and purple. They can be identified by the following model / serial numbers, which are located on a label on the base of the scooter:

• JNOVA-BLU / 61302BLU072200001 to 61302BLU072203800
• JNOVA-GRN / 61302GRN082200001 to 61425GRN112200900
• JNOVA-PUR / 61302PUR072200001 to 61302PUR072203790
• JNOVA-RED / 61302RED072200001 to 61302RED072203800
• JSTAR-CAN-BLU / 61363BLU072221121 to 61363BLU0722013468

Consumers can contact the manufacturer for a free repair kit in order to make the necessary adjustments to the wheel. But if your child has already been injured from this product, you deserve much more than a free repair kit. If you’d like to explore the possibility of a lawsuit against the manufacturer, contact us right away.

• Make sure to document evidence from the accident scene by taking photos of the defective product, the scene of the accident, and any visible injuries on your child.
