Plain-English summary

Radio Flyer Inc. is recalling about 5,000 children's eWagons, model number 3912/3912A. The recall is due to a hazard where improper wiring can activate the wagon's motor unintentionally when force is applied to the electric handle, posing an injury risk to users.

The recalled wagons are battery-operated, foldable, and constructed of red and gray fabric with a steel frame. They measure approximately 41 inches long, 25 inches wide, and 42 inches tall, and feature a removable canopy, two seats with seatbelts, and a telescoping handle. The model number is located on the handle warning label near the pivoting joint.

Radio Flyer has received two reports of the motor activating unintentionally, but no injuries have been reported. The wagons were sold at Toys "R" Us stores nationwide and online at radioflyer.com and toysrus.com from August 2017 through January 2018 for about $350.
