WASHINGTON, June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Joyracer 500w Dirt Quad Electric ATVs. The youth ATVs are missing a tail lamp, stop lamp and all required safety reflectors, reducing visibility of the ATV to other vehicles, posing a collision hazard. The handlebars also fail to comply with ATV safety requirements, posing a deadly laceration hazard if the child rider’s body or head impacts the handlebars. Additionally, the ATVs fail to comply with other mandatory safety requirements for ATVs intended for children 6 years of age and older, including lacking an owner’s manual and required labeling. ATVs that fail to meet the mandatory safety regulations pose a risk of serious injury or death to the rider.
According to CPSC’s latest data, off-highway vehicles (OHVs), including ATVs, are associated with an average of more than 100 deaths and an estimated 27,900 emergency department-treated injuries for children less than 16 years old annually. (2024 Report of Deaths and Injuries Involving Off-Highway Vehicles with More than Two Wheels).
Additionally, these youth ATVs lack a federally mandated, CPSC-approved ATV action plan, which is required for any manufacturer or distributor to import into or distribute in the United States any newly assembled or unassembled ATV. Federal law requires ATV action plans to ensure that the industry promotes ATV safety, including rider training, dissemination of safety information, age recommendations and other safety measures.
CPSC issued a Notice of Violation to the seller, Joyracer, of China. Joyracer has been unresponsive to repeated CPSC requests for information about this product and is not offering a remedy to consumers.
The Joyracer youth 500W Dirt Quad Electric ATVs were sold online at Walmart.com from June 2024 through January 2025 for between $550 and $1,000. They were sold in black, blue, light blue, red and yellow colors. The products may have also been sold on other platforms or by other third-party sellers.
These products were manufactured in China.
CPSC urges consumers to stop using the Joyracer youth ATVs immediately and dispose of them in accordance with local disposal requirements. Do not sell or give away these hazardous ATVs.
