Additionally, the product lacks the appropriate instructions for use when folding and unfolding the scooter. If this is not correctly done, it increases the risk of injuries to the user. Moreover, the steering column is in a plastic bag which is too thin. If a child plays with it, the plastic can cover the mouth and nose, causing the child to suffocate.
