In Washington, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is warning consumers to immediately stop using Gpower youth all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and not to sell or give them away. The notice

The products are gasoline-powered youth ATVs with a 49cc engine and 6-inch steel rims, sold in black under the model name "ATV-3-Orange," with no other branding or labeling, and manufactured in China. About 320 were sold on Walmart.com from August 2025 through December 2025 for about $300, and they may also have been sold by various third-party sellers and on other websites. The seller is Hangzhou Hanmin E-Commerce Co., of China, doing business as Gpower.

The Commission found that the ATVs exceed the maximum speed limit for ATVs intended for children ages six and older, creating a deadly crash hazard; that the mechanical suspension fails to comply with safety requirements; that required safety reflectors are missing, reducing visibility; and that the handlebars pose a laceration hazard if a child rider's body or head impacts them at a high rate of speed. The vehicles also lack a mandated CPSC-approved ATV action plan, which is required to manufacture, import, sell or distribute ATVs in the United States and covers measures including free rider training, dissemination of safety information, and age recommendations. The Commission cited its latest data showing that off-highway vehicles, including ATVs, are associated with an annual average of more than 800 deaths and an estimated 100,000 emergency department-treated injuries. Incidents involving the product can be reported to the Commission at SaferProducts.gov.
