The go-karts involved in this recall are the Tiger II, Tiger II EL, Tiger III and Black Max models. The model numbers are not on the karts, but the Tiger logo is located on the floor of the kart.
All models are single seat karts powered by gasoline engines.
The go-karts have exposed live rear axles, and riders can be seriously injured or killed if their long hair or clothing becomes entangled in the rotating rear axle. To determine whether the rear axle is exposed, consumers should stand behind the go-kart with the engine off, and push the kart by hand. If consumers can see the axle connecting the two rear wheels rotating, the kart is subject to this recall. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission protects the public from the unreasonable risk of injury or death from 15,000 types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction.
