On July 10, 2025, SPPTTY Kids Bicycles were recalled because they contain levels of lead that exceed the federal lead content ban, posing a health hazard to children.

Approximately 200 units were sold in the U.S. exclusively online at Walmart.com from August 2024 through December 2024 for about $85.

The bicycles are pink with brown seat covers, brown handlebars, brown pedals and brown baskets and were sold in 14-inch and 18-inch sizes. The brand “SPPTTY” and “New Sport Bike” are printed on the downtube.

Consumers should stop using the recalled children’s bicycles immediately and contact Shenzhen Yihuachuang Technology for a full refund. To receive a refund, consumers should dismantle the bicycles, take a photo, and send the photo by email to lishkjie@163.com. After submitting proof of destruction, consumers should dispose of the recalled bike by contacting the local household hazardous waste collection program. Do not put the bicycle parts into the regular trash collections.

Lead exposure can have serious health consequences, especially for children and pregnant women. Lead is ubiquitous in the environment, and unfortunately, we cannot see, taste or smell it. Lead is much more harmful to children and during pregnancy because it can affect a child’s developing nervous system and brain.
