WASHINGTON, May 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Chepei 49cc Kids Gas Mini ATVs. The youth ATVs are missing a tail lamp, stop lamp, and all required safety reflectors, which reduces visibility of the ATV to other vehicles, posing a collision hazard. The  mechanical suspension fails to comply with ATV safety requirements, posing a deadly crash 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, such as missing required labeling. ATVs that fail to meet the mandatory safety regulations pose a risk of serious injury or death. 

According to CPSC's latest data, Off-Highway Vehicles (OHVs), including ATVs, are annually associated with an average of more than 850 deaths and an estimated 102,000 emergency department-treated injuries. (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, shenzhenshi jingsi maoyiyouxiangongsi, of China, doing business as Mlegaomoto, which has not agreed to recall these youth ATVs or offer a remedy to consumers.

The Chepei 49cc Kids Gas Mini ATVs were sold online at Walmart.com from March 2024 through January 2025 for about $410. They were sold in green, red, blue and yellow colors.

These products were manufactured in China.

CPSC urges consumers to stop using the Chepei youth ATVs immediately and dispose of them in accordance with local disposal requirements. Do not sell or give away these hazardous ATVs.
