EU/HUNGARY CATEGORY: Childcare articles and children's equipment

PRODUCT: Children's bicycle

BRAND: GIZMOO

NAME: Unknown

TYPE/NUMBER OF MODEL: Model: A001T111121031003


DESCRIPTION: Blue bicycle for young children (5-8 years old) decorated with colourful stickers. The bicycle has a back-pedal brake and is equipped with support wheels. Packaging: bubble foil wrapped around the frame.


INJURIES

The product poses a risk of injuries because the clamp of the bell has sharp edges; and when using the back-pedal brake, the time to brake is increased due to the high difference between the driving and braking positions of the pedal crank, which is higher than the permitted 60°. The chain-guard does not completely cover the edge of the chain, with the risk that clothing may get caught. Furthermore, the static strength of the saddle is not suitable, since the seat is removable, and the support wheels bend when a vertical load is applied, which could impair the balance of the bicycle and cause small children to fall and suffer injuries.
