Description
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.
Hazards
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.
Reported injuries
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.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the recalled water scooter immediately and return it to the store where purchased for a full refund.
