The product, in the report: For legendary fun and a ride all in one, look no further than the Huffy Green Machine 20” Thrill Ride. Your child can hop in this Green Machine Big Wheel’s fully adjustable bucket seat and chart a course for 180-degree spins and dramatic slides. The Green Machine toy’s wide, front rubber tire, monster rear pivot and super-slick rear tires provide dynamic performance, while your little driver controls the stunts with dual-stick steering and a fast-trigger handbrake. This Green Machine Big Wheel is a thrill ride that lives up to its name. Featuring a tough steel frame and lime green accents, your child is sure to get a thrill out of the Huffy Green Machine 20” Thrill Ride. (my son has the red version)
There have been several incidents and product failures with the huffy green machines. most notably is issues with seat breaking coming off detaching etc... my son has one where the mounting bracket actually bent and twisted before coming off. luckily it was in our home and not out in street but still resulted in him being thrown off and getting hurt. if it had happened in street could easily have involved being hit and or ran over. i contacted huffy about it and their solution has been to send out a new bracket and screws essentially admitting fault and awareness of a problem This product needs pulled before a child is killed or seriously injured!

The product, in the report: Huffy 20” slider tricycle. has a white frame with a black seat and black handlebars. “Huffy” is printed on the front of the frame; “Slider” is printed on the frame’s side. The model number 98682
We purchased a Huffy 20” slider at Toys R Us in the fall of 2013. Have been having issues with handle bars coming lose. A recent incident of this led to our son losing control and incidently breaking one of the wheels. This led to our discovery of a recall of this product while looking for an explanation for the handle bars and find a replacement part. I have tightened those bars multiple times but they still came lose. I Contacted Huffy and was told that our slider was not the one recalled. As per their web site and recall I have the exact same slider. picture is same, model number is same, and their web site says 2012 we got ours in October 2013. we are also having the exact same issue which led to their recall. their customer service refused to help us. luckily our son was wearing a helmet. someone else may not be so luckily. Either we have to recalled product and they need to make good on their recall or they need to expand their recall to cover other sliders with the exact same model number, look, and year reported on their web site.

Dear Sir/Madam, On Sunday, the 19th of this month, I purchased for my daughter, a trike from our local WalMart in Flour Bluff, Texas. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Huffy-Disney-Princess-Lights-Sounds-Folding-Trike-Ride-On/22055186 Last night at approx 8pm central time, my daughter was riding the bike and she promptly fell forward. She hurt her chin and the inside of her mouth. She fell forward and the handlebars hurt her stomach and landed on the floor with her face. After finding the bleeding was coming from her gums, I was able to calm her down. She wasn’t upset that she got hurt, but upset because she had fallen off her bike. I inspected the bike, and I found that the area where the wheel attaches to the handlebars had completely snapped in half. I am not sure if this was faulty welding or a manufacturer error. I wanted to let you know about this, due to the fact that other children may get hurt. I am going to take my child to the dentist as she fell on her jaw/face and it caused bleeding in her mouth. Your prompt attention to this matter would be appreciated. Thank you very much for your time. [REDACTED]

The product, in the report: Disney Minnie® 3-2-1 Trike 10” Girls’ Trike pink, purple, and white
first, the petals came off, causing my child to scratch her inner calves - i called huffy for replacement petals and never received them... * i makeshift repaired the petals to stay on with bent paperclips second, the frame holding the front wheel and steering wheel came apart at the welded joint; i caught my child before she was hurt, but if she was riding the trike herself and was older, she probably would have been in the hospital for a serious injury - since i never received the replacement petals and huffy is hopeless to deal with and since it was past the 30 days since i bought the trike, i had given up hope on this [REDACTED] trike * i will try contacting huffy one more time about this trike, now that i have filed this report

No one hurt Made Jan 4, 2012, sent to the company Jan 11, 2012, published by CPSC Feb 2, 2012
The product, in the report: Huffy Green Machine, “big wheel” type trike with steering rear axle
The seat is poorly designed, a single bolt that clamps hard plastic to a glossy painted frame. Insufficient clamping force is exerted on the frame, forcing the user to overtighten the bolt. this stresses the plastic, causing a failure which results in the seat suddenly detaching from the trike while in motion. I bought two of these and gave them to my two boys for Christmas, within 10 days one was broken and the other showed signs of fatigue in the same area. While my boys were not injured, the design is extremely poor.

Hurt, care not known Made Nov 28, 2011, sent to the company Dec 29, 2011, published by CPSC Jan 20, 2012
The product, in the report: Cars 2 Folding Tricycle
The consumer purchased the tricycle the plastic the holds the pedal to the wheel broke causing the unit to become unstable and tip over. Her child was on the trike at time this occured. He fell off of it and hit a curb. The consumer contacted the retailer who sent him a new tricycle and the same thing occured with the same location. She went back to the retailer who told her they must be using it incorrectly. The consumer contacted the manufactuer who told her they are aware of the situation and that it is defective. They have replaced the plastic part that connects the metal to the wheel with a nylon material. She asked if the retailer had been contacted and they said they did not. She told them that her son fell off because of this. The consumer feels that whenever the product breaks, they are sending out a nylon replacement but not informing anyone.
