Peg Perego Recalls Children’s Ride-On ATV over Fire and Burn Hazard
Peg Perego is issuing a recall on approximately 3,000 children’s ride-on toy vehicles due to a fire and burn hazard.
About the Peg Perego Toy Vehicle Recall
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the recall was spurred by a relay on the toy vehicle’s circuit board failing, causing the toy to overheat and ignite.

Consumers are urged to stop children from using the recalled products immediately. Owners can contact Peg Perego for a replacement circuit board with installation instructions, free of charge. Peg Perego will also contact known customers of the recalled toy vehicles.
