The product, in the report: Radio Flyer L885 https://flyer.radioflyer.com/flyer-l885.html
There appears to be a systematic design flaw that renders the Radio Flyer L885 bike unsafe to use, especially since kickstands have now broken twice in similar ways under the normal conditions of use. In fact, the break occurred in the same location in both cases...It looks like Radio Flyer has attempted to join two hollow pieces of metal by filling them with some kind of a cement or epoxy which clearly is not strong enough to support the weight of the bike.
This is an ~80 pound bike that could seriously injure or kill a child (which it is advertised to carry) if it unexpectedly tipped over on them, which nearly happened to us.

First aid Made May 5, 2014, sent to the company May 13, 2014, published by CPSC Jun 4, 2014
The product, in the report: Radio Flyer Go and Grow Bike
On 3 separate occasions 2 children were injured while riding the Radio Flyer Go n Grow Bike. The first was a 2 year old that was riding it and turned the wheel and the bike feel over forward making the child land on his head/face. The second incident was another 2 year old (my son) was riding the same Radio Flyer Go N Grow bike and also turned the handle bars and the bike turned over on its side and partially forward, squishing the child’s leg. The last incident was with my son again riding and the same bike fell forward again when the handle bars were turned. I then decided this thing is a death trap should be put out of commission.

First aid Made Feb 24, 2014, sent to the company Mar 5, 2014, published by CPSC Mar 20, 2014
The product, in the report: Pink and red adjustable bicycle with training wheels and radio/horn/turn signals that sound.
This bike constantly falls over, even when an adult is pushing a child on the bike. It is so top heavy that it cannot stay upright no matter what. It falls whenever a child gets on it, tries to ride it, tries to push it with his/her feet. It is designed for toddlers and small children (age limit is three years). No matter how small or large the bike is when adjusted, it falls over. It is impossible to ride the bike without getting hurt. Even when the bike is freestanding and an adult (or child or anyone) lightly touches the bike it rocks; when slightly pushed, it falls over. In spite of being a few years old the bike looks brand new because it is impossible to ride and is too dangerous for a child. We have only tried using it inside because of the instability. I can send videos and photos of how unstable and dangerous this bike is.
