First aid Made Jun 5, 2012, sent to the company Jul 10, 2012, published by CPSC Jul 31, 2012
The product, in the report: [REDACTED] Pink and red snail 2 in 1.
The snail is not designed properly. With the weight of a child and the position of the snails back as a seat, it makes the snail and child tip foward. If the seat was lower down it would not make it so dangerous. Every time she has played on this toy an injury has occured in the same fashion. I threw away the box thinking radio flyer is usually a dependable, fun brand. I had issues at kmart ad walmart on returning the item with out a box. I called radio flyer customer service and they were outstanding about helping with a refund!

The product, in the report: Radio Flyer Scoot and Zoom model #711
My daugther was riding the scoot and zoom and fell foward. She was wearing a helmet, but that didn’t prevent an injury. She landed face first on the patio and had a bloody mouth from where she did a face plant.

No one hurt Made Aug 27, 2011, published by CPSC Sep 20, 2011
The product, in the report: Radio Flyer Scoot & Zoom
Feed back on Radio Flyer Sccot & Zoom
I own a private childcare and purchased 12 radio flyer scoot & Zoom ride on toys about 6 months ago. The model we have is all the 711 which you have now recalled. We use these toys for indoor active play on a smooth Composite Tile Floor. We have had no incidents or injuries related to this toy while using indoors on smoth service. I also have the same toy at my home for my grandson to ride on. I have had problems with tipovers while using this toy outside on rough concrete and indoors at bumps in floor like door way thresh holds. I have removed all of these from the school and my home and have requested the newer model from radio flyer. I agree the longer wheel base of the new model would make it better but also think a label for iuse on smooth surfaces only or be careful of use on non-smooth surface as toy may be prone to tip-over on any riding toy of this type..
Thanks, [REDACTED]

Emergency room Made Aug 17, 2011, published by CPSC Sep 8, 2011
The product, in the report: a small red scooter that has 4 caster wheels
My child (at the time 20 months old) was riding his scoot and zoom, he was trying to go from room to room when he tried to go over the thresh hold and the scoot and zoom did not. The scoot and zoom dumped him over the front of the scooter onto the floor causing him great harm. He was bleeding everywhere and we took him to the er, it was discovered the fall caused his 2 front teeth to be pushed back up into his gums.

Hurt, care not known Made Jul 9, 2011, published by CPSC Jul 29, 2011
The product, in the report: Radio Flyer brand Model 312P Girls’ Push Pull & Ride Snail Style Ride On Toy
The toy is the Radio Flyer Model 312P Girls’ Push Pull & Ride Snail Ride On toy. This was actually the third time that this happened with this toy, which is why I felt prompted to write you today. The first time, I chalked it up to an uncoordinated child who was riding the toy, the second time I thought it was just a coincidence. The third time, I decided to write, as this is just a terrible toy. This is a poorly designed toy in which the balance is off. The front of the toy tips forward very easily, with the slightest movement when it is in the ride-on position. (The toy is marketed as having three positions for play). It is obvious to me now that it is very easy for a child to pitch forward and smash their face on the ground, in addition to being unassisted by their hands to break the fall, since they are holding onto the handles of it. As an adult handling the toy and manipulating it in this manner, it becomes apparent that it is a design flaw, as it happens so easily with minimal effort. In two previous separate incidents (not reported prior to this), two visiting children had pretty bad forward-tipping accidents on this toy. In one of those incidents, the child tipped forward while riding on the toy and hit her chin, while her teeth penetrated her bottom lip, sustaining a rather nasty bloody laceration from the impact. We were grateful that it happened in the house on the wood floor and not outside on the concrete or asphalt. (Yikes!) The incidence that just occurred this week (7/5/11) was a “close call” with my own child. She was just sitting there, hardly even moving on the toy, and I was sitting on the ground nearby playing with my older child. Suddenly, as she stretched her feet out forward on the wheels of the toy, the toy pitched forward and I caught my daughter by her face just in time before she and the toy hit the ground. The toy is now out of reach, as we have determined it to be an unsafe toy that causes injury.
