What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

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: The recall involves a risk of fire and burn injury from overheating, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Pines of America Inc. is recalling the Trailblazer All Terrain Vehicle (ATV), Model No. PP9083. This is a battery-operated ride-on toy motorcycle designed for children ages 4 to 7. The affected units were produced between July 21, 1983, and April 16, 1984, and sold for approximately $99.00. The company is currently out of business.

The recall is due to a defect in the battery wiring harness that can cause a short circuit under certain circumstances. This short circuit has resulted in overheating at the battery harness location in 30 reported incidents. While no injuries have been reported, the overheating poses a risk of fire and fire-related burns.

Consumers should discontinue use of the toy immediately. Because the manufacturer is out of business, owners are instructed to discard or destroy the product. The affected model can be identified by a decal on the rear of the toy designating the name 'Trailblazer.' This recall applies only to the specific model and production dates listed and does not affect other Pines riding toys.
