Aqua Water Scooters Recalled
June 29, 2005
CSK Auto is recalling about 2,200 Aqua Water Scooters. Hydrogen gas can build up in the battery compartment and cause the battery cover and the battery package to forcefully expel from the product, posing a risk of injury to the user or bystanders.
CSK has received nine reports of the battery cover and/or the battery package being expelled from the water scooter, including three reports of facial injuries such as lacerations and bruising.
The Aqua Water Scooter is a hand-held, battery-powered product used to propel swimmers through the water. The product has either a yellow or red plastic enclosure, a black plastic handle and propeller and a shark face on the front.
The scooters were sold at Checker Auto Parts and Kragen Auto Parts stores in California, Arizona, Nevada and Minnesota, and on the firm抯 Web site from April 2005 to June 2005 for about $99.
Consumers should stop using the recalled water scooter immediately and return it to the store where purchased for a full refund.
