My toddler was sitting on a bike that was gifted to us by a neighbor. The bike is the Dynacraft Suspect 16” Bike which can be found here:

He wasn’t riding it. He just leaned over and fell. When he fell the bike landed on him, but as he fell the handlebars turned and he actually scrapped the underside of his chin and neck on the handlebar grip and made his way down to the handle bar itself. The protective pad that’s on the handlebar has a foil like plastic covering that also has a sharp edge on. That sharp edge is what ended up making a clean cut on his neck (see attached photos). The cut was deep to where you could see the fat in his neck and and we had to take him to the emergency room. This happened the Sunday after Thanksgiving 2022. My son has since healed, but I very concerned in how sharp the edge.
I reported the injury to the manufacturer of the bike “Dynacraft” the first week of December and provided them some details of the incident because I was fearful this could happen to someone else.
They have not been very responsive to the matter in my opinion. If my sons cut was any deeper on his neck I believe it could have been fatal. I just don’t want to see this happen to someone else’s kid.
The head of their customer service did call me on 1/5/23 after a few emails. She asked me to send them a picture of the serial number on the bike in addition to the photos I had already sent them through their online submittal process. I sent them the attached photos when I first called their customer service line about it originally and they has me submit a form on line. The case number I have open with them is [REDACTED].
The customer service department had offered to provide us with a new bike of our choice on the phone and by email. She also asked by me to send her our records of any medical bills. A new bike isn’t my goal, but I did go and look at the new bikes as Wal-mart on display. What I found was that all their toddler bike have similar protective pads on them that have sharp edges to them that could easily cut the skin if you hit them right (see other photos). No different than a paper cut, but is a plastic foil type material. Again this slit my sons neck wide open. I want to make sure they are correcting the problem. I let them know that was my opinion on the matter and did not feel it would be safe to have one for their bikes as a replacement. I was told on 1/25/23 by email that someone else at Dynacraft would be reaching out to me that is more in a design role for them to discuss the issue. I have not heard back from them at this point, which is why I’m submitting the report. I have more emails and photos that I can provide.
I was also contacted by [REDACTED] at [REDACTED]. Who is representing Dyncraft as a Claims administrator. I gave him all the same details I gave Dynacraft. Their file number is [REDACTED] and he can be reached at [REDACTED] [REDACTED].
Not sure what else to do at this point.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(2/28/2023) Dynacraft BSC, Inc.: Dynacraft BSC, Inc. has reviewed the report, which we appreciate receiving given our concern for the safety of our products. The consumer reports that his three year old son was sitting on a Dynacraft 16 inch boys Suspect bicycle, model number 8057-49TJ, when he leaned and fell over. The consumer further reports that the bike landed on his son and that his son sustained a cut on his neck as a result. The consumer also contacted Dynacraft’s customer service department concerning these issues and requested to speak with someone responsible for the product’s design and someone in upper management. As a result of the consumer’s initial report, Dynacraft had its product liability team investigate this matter. Based on that investigation, we understand that the bicycle was a second hand gift from a neighbor. The consumer did not witness the incident, as he was busy with another activity in the yard when his son fell, and there was no blood or other evidence on the handlebar pad, its vinyl cover, or anywhere else on the bike. The consumer stated that he believed the pad cover cut his son’s neck because his son’s face was near the handlebar when he found him. Bicycles distributed by Dynacraft are tested by third party laboratories for compliance with bicycle safety standards, which includes testing for sharp edges. Additionally, Dynacraft is not aware of any other reports that the vinyl cover of a handlebar pad on one of its bicycles cut someone.

The product, in the report: Dynacraft 12” bicycle with thomas train

I bought this bicycle for my younger son and although The assembly was done right(I confirmed it with the manuals and toysrus), its handle turns 360 degrees while riding the 12” bicycle. As I bought two bicycles(a minion for elder kid which worked excellent), I assembled this bicycle few months after I bought it. This happens more when my 3.5 years old son is riding it a little faster. Has resulted in two accidents and I took it back to Toysrus and they provided me basically with zero customer service and gave this reporting website. I am concerned and hence decided that I will not let my kid ride this anymore. He is also scared to ride the bicycle although he loves the shape of Thomas train on this Dynacraft cycle. To me, it is a safety issue but basically the store where I bought refused to further help me or even return the product.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/9/2017) Dynacraft BSC, Inc.: Dynacraft BSC, Inc. has reviewed this report, which it appreciates receiving given its concern for the safety of its products, and provides the following in response. Upon receipt of the report and in order to address the consumer’s complaints, Dynacraft’s customer service department contacted the consumer and asked him for additional information, which Dynacraft has not yet received. As the consumer claims that the bicycle’s handlebars rotated 360 degrees while being ridden, we note that the bicycles are shipped in a box, partially assembled. Given that the consumer appears to have purchased the bicycle unassembled, part of the final assembly that he would have had to complete involves inserting the stem into the steerer tube and then properly adjusting and securing the stem and handlebars. Dynacraft is not aware of any similar reports involving this model bicycle and given the available information cannot rule out improper assembly or adjustment of the stem connection as possible causes of the reported incident. Nevertheless, Dynacraft is awaiting additional information from the consumer in order to address his situation.

The product, in the report: Bicycle

The caller stated that while testing the bike she noticed that there is only one brake on the left handle which when you depress the brake the back wheel catapult forward and this can throw the child over the handle bar. She was just using her hand and pushing the bike in the room. This bike was purchased for a 8 year old child.
The manufacturer or retailer was not contacted as yet.
She feels that this bike is a safety hazard and should be taken off the market before a child gets injured. She is planning to return the bike to the retailer but needed the agency to be aware of the dangerous product.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/28/2013) Dynacraft BSC, Inc.: Dynacraft BSC, Inc. has reviewed the report, which it appreciates receiving, and provides the following in comment. Though there was no injury or incident reported, the anonymous consumer complains that there is only one brake on the bicycle, which is mistaken. Like many other available bicycles, this model bicycle, as evidenced in the photographs uploaded by the consumer, is equipped with a rear coaster brake as well as a front hand brake. The Dynacraft owner’s manual supplied with the bikes tells consumers to familiarize themselves with the type of brakes on their bicycle and warns of the potential danger of sudden or excessive application of the front brake. The owner’s manual also suggests that the consumer contact Dynacraft’s customer service department with questions, but the consumer did not do so and has not provided any contact information.

The product, in the report: Dynacraft 18” BMX Girls Barbie Bike model 8091-37

We bought a bike for my 5 year old from Toys R Us in December of 2011. It is a Dynacraft 18” BMX Barbie Bike. model 8091-37 We have only used it a handful of times.
We were out riding our bikes yesterday (7/8/2012) and as my daughter was going down a hill, the pedel fell off of the bike which caused her to loose her balance and fall off of the bike. Thankfully she was wearing a helmet. She has brush burns and scratches on her shoulder and elbow. The helmet did protect her head from being injured. You can see in the pictures that the front of the helmet has chips and scratches on it from her head hitting the road. My husband tried to screw the pedel back on but it doesn’t seem to work.
I immediately started surfing the net to see if this had happen to anyone else. I did see that this brand was recalled for pedels falling off but not the model we have.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/1/2012) Dynacraft BSC, Inc.: Dynacraft has reviewed the report, which it appreciates receiving given its concern for the safety of its products. Dynacraft’s product liability team is in the process of investigating this matter, but we understand that the consumer claims that the left pedal came off of the bike. It should be noted that the bikes are shipped in a box, and if sold fully assembled as this bike appears to have been, the retailer or its assembler is responsible for attaching the pedals, handlebars, and front wheel, among other things. Based upon initial photographs received from the consumer, we cannot rule out improper assembly or adjustment by the retailer or consumer as potential causes. As stated in the report, this model is not subject to any recall, and Dynacraft is not aware of any other claims involving this model bike. We are nevertheless also working to resolve the consumer’s claim.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(1/3/2012) Dynacraft BSC, Inc.: 20111214-52FE3-2147472374 Dynacraft has reviewed the above numbered report and provides the following comment in response. The information contained in this comment is true and accurate to Dynacraft’s best knowledge, information and belief. The product in question is a 12 inch BMX style bicycle that has a small sport fender that must be attached by an adult after purchase. Attached are the assembly instructions that are provided along with the manual for the bicycle. The day after purchase the adult that purchased this bicycle for a Christmas present he intended to give reported on the consumer data base that he was cut assembling the fender. The same day he made a similar report to Dynacraft by fax and later by e mail. [REDACTED] has been called by Dynacraft’s Customer Service Department and by a representative of Dynacraft’s product claims team to investigate the circumstances of how this incident occurred and the nature and severity of the claimed injury. [REDACTED] was not available for either call, the calls were confirmed by e mail but [REDACTED] later responded by voice mail saying he was a very very busy person, and there was no reason to talk to him about this matter. He further said all he wanted was replacement fender mailed to him. He gave no indication that he is seeking compensation for his alleged injury or that it is “serious” within the meaning of the Commission’s regulations. Dynacraft has had no other complaint about the fender assembly on this bicycle and does not know how or if this accident occurred. This model bicycle is tested in Asia by Intertek and passed all requirements including tests for sharp edges. No other consumer complaint has been received concerning the fender. Assembly requires two bolts and very little work or contact with the fender edges. There are so few issues with the fender that there were no spare fenders in the United States and to replace it Dynacraft has ordered a replacement from Asia that has not yet arrived. Without the cooperation of the consumer Dynacraft’s investigation of the consumer’s allegations is frustrated.

The product, in the report: boys 18” bicycle. Primarily blue with yellow trim around the word “NEXT” along the lower frame bar, yellow fork with the word “SURGE” in blue letters, black handlebars and seat with the word “NEXT” on it. Frame: Steel BMX-style frame Fork: BMX-style fork with 1.25-inch-thick steel tube Handlebar/Stem: Steel BMX-style with crossbar Brakes: Rear coaster, plus front and rear caliper Levers: Resin levers Crank: 1-piece, 5.5-inch steel crank Rims: Painted steel rims Hubs: Steel Tires: 18” x 1.95” black BMX tires Seat: Black, printed seat Comes with a kick stand Color may vary

On approx Dec 23rd, 2010, I purchased a boys Next brand, Surge model bicycle for my 5-year old son. Since he has owned this bicycle, he has had numerous problems with it. Most of which, has caused him to have minor to serious bicycle accidents. The right pedal has come off & will not stay tightened & the thread has now been stripped. We had to use a pedal from a neighbor’s old bike so that my son may ride his bike again. The handle bars will not stay straight & frequently come loose & cause my son to lose control & not be able to steer properly. This incident has happened more than 3 times & the last time was on June 2nd, 2011. The handle-bars came loose, twisted to the side & caused my son to wreck badly. He landed face first into the concrete, he had a bloody nose, cuts on the top of his nose, loosened a tooth, knocked a second tooth out, scraped both elbows & knees, busted his top lip, cuts on his chin, cuts on the inside of his nose, rubber burns on the back of his legs from the handlebars. The seat will not stay straight as my son is riding it, even when the seat is tightly fastened. This also has caused many minor accidents as well.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(6/23/2011) Dynacraft BSC, Inc.: ID: 201 10605-C6A17-2147478512 Dynacraft has reviewed the above numbered report and provides the following comment in response. The information contained in this comment is true and accurate to Dynacraft’s best knowledge, information and belief. The consumer has reported that on approx Dec 23rd, 2010, she purchased a boys Next brand, Surge model bicycle for her 5- year old son. She states that the right pedal has come off & will not stay tightened & the thread has now been stripped. She reports that they used a pedal from a neighbor’s old bike so that her son could ride his bike again. The handlebars will not stay straight & frequently come loose & cause her son to lose control & not be able to steer properly. Dynacraft is the distributor of such a bicycle and they are sold for resale around the United States. Dynacraft’s product claims team has contacted the consumer, but they have not been able to examine the subject bicycle to verify the identification of the product. The consumer states that she does not desire to make a claim for compensation for this matter but she will continue to cooperate with the investigation. She has provided a statement that the bicycle in question came with a manual and was fully assembled by the retail store where the purchase was made. She stated that the pedal which came off was replaced by a neighbor and the replacement has worked fine. Bicycles like this are made in China and shipped directly to the retailers that sell them. The bikes are partially assembled and shipped in boxes with, among other components, handlebar stems and pedals that must be attached to the bicycle to be able to ride it. This assembly is often done by the retail store that sells the bicycle. Unless correctly assembled pedals will back out of the crank arms and handlebar stems will rotate or separate from the steering tube into which the stem is inserted. Both the manual and the labels on the bicycle address the proper assembly of these components. Handlebar assembly and maintenance is addressed on pages 11, 12, 26,49,50,88 and 89 of the manual. These pages emphasize the tightness that must be achieved and provide this test to verify that it was achieved: Check steering tightness prior to riding by straddling the front wheel. Try turning the handlebar. If you can turn it without turning the front wheel, the stem is too loose. Realign the handlebar with the front wheel and re-tighten the stem wedge bolt. In addition the bicycle has a warning label on the frame near the head tube that reinforces the need to properly assemble the handle bar stem. It reads: IMPORTANT: Be sure handlebar stem assembly is securely tightened. (Refer to the “Assembly” section in your Owner’s Manual). The bicycle manual addresses pedal attachment on pages 13, 32, 33, 51 and 102. The message is: Check for the right (R, red) sticker and left (L, green) sticker on each pedal and crank arm. Match the appropriate pedal to each crank (right to right and left to left) for assembly. Start each pedal spindle by hand to avoid stripping the threads. Tighten with a 15mm narrow open ended wrench so that the shoulder of the pedal spindle is securely tightened against the crank arm. In addition the bicycle has a warning label on the crank arm that reinforces the need to properly assemble the pedal to the crank arm. It reads: IMPORTANT: Be sure the shoulder of the pedal spindle is securely tightened to the crank arm. (Refer to the “Assembly” section in your Owner’s Manual).
This incident appears to have been caused by the failure to properly assemble the bicycle and to use it without following the many instructions and warnings. Dynacraft requests that this comment be published in the Consumer Product Information Database, and hereby consents to such publication.
