HAZARD: POTENTIAL FOR IMPACT INJURIES!

 

W.A.T.C.H. OUT! This wooden “kneeboard”, marketed for young children, sits approximately 4 inches off the ground.  Users are encouraged to “[r]ace your friends!” by kneeling on the board and steering with the handlebars.   Its low profile makes the toy potentially hazardous for outdoor use, an issue purportedly addressed with a separate, detachable “safety flag”.  Additional warnings on the package insert include: “Kneeboard riding can be a hazardous activity.  Kneeboards can and are intended to move, and it is therefore possible to get into dangerous situations and/or lose control and/or fall off.  If such things occur, serious injury may result.”
