Plain-English summary

Xootr of Old Forge, Pa. is recalling about 3,000 adult kick scooters. The recall involves all Xootr adult kick scooters equipped with the QuickClick push-button latching mechanism. These silver scooters are 30 inches long by 10 inches wide, with a handlebar height of 36 inches. They feature a plastic, wood, or metal deck and a black push button located on the steer support.

The scooters were sold at Lajolla Swim and Sport, Nyce Wheels, San Francyclo, and other sporting goods stores nationwide, as well as online at Amazon.com and Xootr.com, from November 2016 through January 2017 for about $270.
