Pennsylvania Department of Health shares alert on children's bike recall due to lead levels

The Pennsylvania Department of Health shared a U.S. Consumer Product and Safety Commission recall alert in a news release Friday.

The alert was issued on July 10, 2025 for SPPTTY children's bicycles that were being sold on Walmart.com for about $85 from August 2024 through December 2024. About 200 units are affected.

The cause of the recall is listed to be due to multiple components of the children's bicycle containing levels of lead that exceed the federal content ban.

Additionally, the black paint on the bicycle pumps contains lead that exceeds federal content ban levels.

The bikes are pink with brown seat covers, handlebars, pedals and baskets, as pictured above. The recalled bikes were sold in 14-inch and 18-inch sizes.

The brand name SPPTTY and New Sport Bike are printed on the bike's frame.

The excess lead levels could pose a lead poisoning hazard to children.

"Lead is harmful if ingested and poses significant risks to children's health," said Secretary of Health Dr. Debra Bogen.

Dr. Bogen continued," This recall serves as an important reminder to parents and caregivers to ensure that young children have routine screening for lead exposure. Early identification of elevated lead levels can reduce the harms from lead exposure, including its harm to children's behavior and development."

No injuries have been reported related to the recalled product.

The recall alert states that anyone using the recalled children's bikes should stop immediately and contact the retailer, Shenzhen Yihuachuang Technology, to receive a full refund.

Consumers with the recalled product should dismantle the bike, take a photo and send the photo by email to lishkjie@163.com to receive the refund.

After submitting proof of destruction, the release from the Pennsylvania Department of Health recommends disposing of the recalled bike parts by contacting local household hazardous waste collection programs.

Consumers should not put the recalled bicycle parts into regular trash collection bins.

The release from the Pennsylvania Department of Health recommends that any parents and caregivers of children who may have used the recalled bikes contact their child's health care provider to discuss the need for blood lead testing.

The Pennsylvania Department of Health also maintains a toll-free lead information hotline at 1-800-440-LEAD for anyone seeking information about lead poisoning prevention, testing, follow-up and local resources.
