Recall: Barbie campers continue to run after pedal released

Fisher-Price has recalled its Children’s Power Wheels Barbie Dream Campers due to risk of injury.

The motorized camper can continue to run after the foot pedal is released, posing an injury hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Approximately 44,000 campers were sold at Walmart stores nationwide and online at Walmart.com from July 2018 through Jan. 2019 for about $400.

The campers feature model number FRC29 and have a gray foot pedal. The recalled ride-on vehicles are hot pink with blue accents and have the Barbie logo printed on the back. They are battery-operated and have a play kitchen, a fold out grill and pretend campfire. The model number is printed on a label under the hood.

The recall was released Tuesday after Fisher-Price received 17 reports of the power wheels continuing to run after the foot pedal was released. Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children, stop using them and contact Fisher-Price for a free repair.

To request a free repair, consumers can call Fisher-Price at 800-348-0751 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or go online to www.service.mattel.com and click on “Recalls & Safety Alerts.”
