Description
Pink bicycle for young children with two stabilizer wheels decorated with cartoon characters, equipped with two brake systems marked "RONG XIN". Marking on the frame and chain-guard “UGLY CAT”.
Risk
null The product poses a risk of injuries because:- The bicycle has unprotected sharp edges, which may cause injuries during normal riding, handling and maintenance.- The cable caps do not withstand the required removal force; their removal could result in injury of a child.- The hand-operated brakes, the pivot of the plastic lever may break and the braking assembly may stop operating.- The handlebar grips do not have sufficiently enlarged and covered ends.-It is not equipped with a chain-guard that fully shields the chain, which might lead to constriction of a child's fingers while playing with the chain-guard.In addition, the manufacturer’s instructions do not contain all necessary safety warnings and the user´s manual is missing.The product does not comply with the relevant European Standard EN 14765.
