Dumar International USA is voluntarily recalling their Cinderella 12-Volt Electric Ride-On Vehicles, due to fire and burn hazards. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
The wires under the hood of the car and/or in the battery compartment under the seat are short circuiting, causing a fire and burn hazard to children riding in the car.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Dumar International USA have recorded 40 incidents to date, of the toy car’s wires overheating.
In several incidents, smoke was seen coming out from underneath the seat area where the battery is located. In one incident, flames shot from under the hood while a 4-year-old girl was riding the vehicle. No injuries have been reported.
This product was manufactured in China and approximately 64,000 units have been sold by Wal-Mart stores nationwide from August 2005 through February 2006 for about $200.
