Incident Overview

According to the CPSC SaferProducts report (ID 6080531), on April 17, 2026, a 12-year-old child was riding a PHANTOM A10 electric scooter purchased from Costco. Without warning, the main frame of the scooter broke into two pieces during normal use. The child was thrown to the ground, suffering facial injuries including bruises and abrasions that required emergency department treatment.

The reporter stated that the scooter had not been modified and was being used as intended. The sudden structural failure created a serious safety hazard. Photos of the damaged scooter and the child's injuries were submitted with the report. The consumer reported the incident to the manufacturer, but the matter remains unresolved at the time of filing.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: A sudden frame fracture during operation can cause the rider to be thrown from the scooter without warning. In this incident, the child suffered facial injuries from the fall. Depending on riding speed and surface, such falls can result in head trauma, fractures, or road rash.

Long-Term Risks: If the design defect is systemic, other units may fail under similar conditions. Continued use without a recall could lead to additional injuries. The structural integrity of the frame is critical for safe operation; repeated stress cycles may exacerbate latent weaknesses.

Who Might Be Affected: The primary risk is to the rider, especially children who may be less able to anticipate or react to sudden failures. Bystanders near the scooter could also be struck by flying debris or the falling rider.

Warning Signs: In this case, there were no reported warning signs before the frame broke. The absence of cracks, noises, or wobbling prior to failure makes this hazard particularly dangerous, as users have no indication of impending collapse.
