Kazuma ATVs Deemed Unsafe, CPSC Suggests You Request Refund!

Filed in archive ATV , ATV Safety , News by Matt on June 11, 2007

Commission has deemed Kazuma Meerkat 50cc kids quads unsafe and dangerous, and urge owners to stop using them now and request a full refund.

The CPSC attempted to get the distributor of the Chinese made ATVs, Stafford, Texas-based Kazuma Pacific Inc., to issue a recall, but they refused.

The reasons the CPSC wants to issue a recall is because the ATV has no front or parking brake, and it can be started in gear.

I agree with CPSC concerning the Kazuma Meerkat 50 being poorly built and dangerous. However as bad as the Kazuma is, I can think of about 6-7 other Chinese brands that the CPSC should have gone after before Kazuma. Brands such as Fushin, BMX, SUNL, Buyang, BTM, Eagle, Baja, etc. are built way, way more poorly and alot more dangerous than the Kazuma. I have a repair shop I fix these cheap Chinese ATV's all the time. For example SUNL and BMX (who sells a lot more mini ATVs for kids than Kazuma), has axles and frames that break, very dangerous. I would hope that the CPSC also looks at these other Chinese import ATVs.
