The Pennsylvania Department of Health (DOH) has alerted parents and caregivers in a press release about the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recall of SPPTTY kids bicycles due to lead levels that exceed federal safety standards.
The bikes were sold in the U.S., exclusively online at Walmart.com, from August through December 2024, for about $85, the release said. The bikes are pink with brown seat covers, brown handlebars, brown pedals and brown baskets and were sold in 14-inch and 18-inch sizes. The brand “SPPTTY” and “New Sport Bike” are printed on the bike frame.
Parents and caregivers of children who may have used the recalled bikes should contact their child’s health care provider to discuss the need for blood lead testing, the release said.
People who purchased the bikes should immediately stop using them and contact Shenzhen Yihuachuang Technology for a full refund, the release said. Consumers will be asked to dismantle the bikes, take a photo and send the photo by email to lishkjie@163.com. After submitting proof of destruction, consumers should dispose of the recalled bike by contacting the local household hazardous waste collection program.
