Bolt Foldable Children's Scooters Recalled for Excessive Lead Paint

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Lead paint on children's products poses a high risk of adverse health effects from ingestion, which is a known hazard to young children. Although no illnesses have been reported, the inherent danger of lead to children, especially from a high-contact consumer product, merits a High severity classification.
