New York, NY — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Dynacraft have voluntarily recalled Urban Shredder ride-on toys because of fall hazards posed by the defective product. The CPSC announced the nationwide product recall on April 4, 2013.

Model number 8801-15 or 8801-05 or 8801-05com and the date of manufacture, formatted as “YYYY/MM/DD,” are printed on a data label on the underside of the Urban Shredder. The serial number can be found etched or printed on the underside of the Urban Shredder near the data label,” the CPSC reported.
The serial numbers included in the recall have:
