The youth ATVs are missing a tail lamp, stop lamp and all required safety reflectors, reducing visibility of the ATV to other vehicles, posing a collision hazard. The handlebars also fail to comply with ATV safety requirements, posing a deadly laceration hazard if the child rider's body or head impacts the handlebars. Additionally, the ATVs fail to comply with other mandatory safety requirements for ATVs intended for children 6 years of age and older, including lacking an owner's manual and required labeling. ATVs that fail to meet the mandatory safety regulations pose a risk of serious injury or death to the rider.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the Joyracer youth ATVs immediately and dispose of them in accordance with local disposal requirements. Do not sell or give away these hazardous ATVs.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Joyracer 500w Dirt Quad Electric ATVs. The youth ATVs are missing a tail lamp, stop lamp and all required safety reflectors, reducing visibility of the ATV to other vehicles, posing a collision hazard. The handlebars also fail to comply with ATV safety requirements, posing a deadly laceration hazard if the child rider's body or head impacts the handlebars. Additionally, the ATVs fail to comply with other mandatory safety requirements for ATVs intended for children 6 years of age and older, including lacking an owner's manual and required labeling. ATVs that fail to meet the mandatory safety regulations pose a risk of serious injury or death to the rider.
According to CPSC's latest data, off-highway vehicles (OHVs), including ATVs, are associated with an average of more than 100 deaths and an estimated 27,900 emergency department-treated injuries for children less than 16 years old annually. (2024 Report of Deaths and Injuries Involving Off-Highway Vehicles with More than Two Wheels).
Additionally, these youth ATVs lack a federally mandated, CPSC-approved ATV action plan, which is required for any manufacturer or distributor to import into or distribute in the United States any newly assembled or unassembled ATV. Federal law requires ATV action plans to ensure that the industry promotes ATV safety, including rider training, dissemination of safety information, age recommendations and other safety measures.
CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Joyracer, of China. Joyracer has been unresponsive to repeated CPSC requests for information about this product and is not offering a remedy to consumers.
The Joyracer youth 500W Dirt Quad Electric ATVs were sold online at Walmart.com from June 2024 through January 2025 for between $550 and $1,000. They were sold in black, blue, light blue, red and yellow colors. The products may have also been sold on other platforms or by other third-party sellers.
These products were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the Joyracer youth ATVs immediately and dispose of them in accordance with local disposal requirements. Do not sell or give away these hazardous ATVs.

Note: Individual Commissioners may have statements related to this topic. Please visit https://www.cpsc.gov/commissioners to search for statements related to this or other topics.
The highchairs pose a fall hazard and risk of serious injury or death to babies because the legs of the chair can detach from the frame if the screws connecting the legs are not properly tightened during assembly.
The recalled high chairs pose a deadly entrapment hazard because the opening between the seat and tray is large enough that a child can become entrapped in it. In addition, the child restraint system can fail, posing a fall hazard. These are violations of the federal standards for high chairs.
The toy sets contain small balls that violate regulations for toys intended for children under three years of age because they are a choking hazard and can cause serious injury or death.
The recalled portable hook-on chair poses a deadly fall hazard because the crotch restraint can be removed without the use of a tool and infants can fall through an opening, which is a violation of the federal standard for portable hook-on chairs.
The recalled portable bassinets violate the federal safety standard for Infant Sleep Productsbecause the sides are too low to contain the infant and the portable bassinets do not have a stand, posing a fall hazard. These violations create an unsafe sleeping environment for infants.
The swings pose a deadly suffocation risk because they were marketed for infant sleep and they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees, in violation of the CPSC's Infant Sleep Products Standard and Safe Sleep for Babies Act. The swings also fail to meet mandatory warning requirements under the swing standard. In addition, the remote control for the swing contains a lithium coin battery and the products are missing the required warnings and instructions for consumer products containing button cell and coin batteries under Reese's Law. When button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, internal chemical burns and death.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
