Jakks Pacific is recalling specific versions of its Morfboard Skate & Scoot Combo scooters with “Y” handlebars, as the company has received 18 reports of the handlebars breaking. One injury has been reported so far after a child fell and got a bloody nose, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The scooters were sold in cyan, chartreuse, lava, and mint colors, all of which have been affected. Consumers can check an 8-character alphanumeric manufacturing data code on the bottom side of each skate deck sold with the toy to see if it has one of the 26 codes that have been named in the recall. The Morfboard Skate & Scoot Combo is both a skateboard and scooter, depending on how you convert the interchangeable parts. To create a scooter, kids must insert the “Y” handlebar into a baseboard. The company is offering consumers a free replacement “T” handlebar if they already own the Morfboard Skate & Scoot Combo scooter. Jakks Pacific is an American company that designs, produces, and markets several popular toys, including Fly Wheels and Fun Noodles. This is not the first time the company has had to recall one of their products. In 2002, Jakks Pacific recalled cans of their “Smatter” spray foam after receiving reports of the aerosol container breaking apart, injuring a child and breaking multiple car windows.
