Plain-English summary
Dynacraft BSC Inc. is recalling about 5,500 electric, battery-operated City Scooters with Monster High graphics. The scooters are purple and black with graphics on the front panels, seat, and rear fenders. They were manufactured between October 5, 2012, and November 7, 2012, and sold exclusively at Walmart stores and Walmart.com nationwide from November 2012 to January 2013 for about $249.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled scooters, disconnect the battery, and return them to the nearest Walmart store to receive a full refund or store credit.
