To ensure the safety of all our valuable customers, Warehouse 36 has just completed their own independent,
random testing for lead contaminated painted surfaces on all their pedal car lines.
Independent, in house testing by Warehouse 36 show that their test results have now confirmed and
verified previous factory test results (performed in China ) that all painted surfaces contain an
insignificant amount of lead, are far below the acceptable federal ASTM F963 standards and are 100% safe for our customers.

PEDAL CAR SAFETY
Pedal powered and ride on toys are safety tested to comply with-all Child Safety Regulations.
As always, with all children's pedal powered and ride-on-toys adult supervision is a must.
Here are 5 basic rules for Pedal Car Safety which we believe will add to your child's enjoyment and safety.
1. Pedal cars have no brakes - Because most pedal cars have no brakes and because the cars are propelled and slowed by the
direct action of the child's legs, Pedal Cars should be used only on hard flat surfaces. The cars should be kept away from hills,
sloped driveways, boat ramps and swimming pools, ponds or any open water where a child could accidentally fall into.
2. Pedal cars are very low to the ground - Because pedal cars are low to the ground, you should be aware that adult automobile
drivers may have difficulty seeing you youngster. Be sure to provide supervision around driveways where backing automobile
drivers have limited visibility. Also, it is a good idea to make adult drivers in your neighborhood aware that youngsters with
pedal cars may be present.
3. Pedal Cars are propelled and also slowed by the direct action and force of the child's legs - Don't allow children to push the car
while another child is in the car. Keep in mind that because the cars are direct drive, the faster the car is moving, the faster the
child's legs must move to keep up with the pedals.
4. Pedal Cars have exposed pedal mechanisms (inside the car's body) - Don't allow your child to wear loose clothing while operating the Pedal Car.
Loose clothing can become tangled in the pedal mechanism much like loose clothing can get caught in bicycle's chain. Especially avoid loose
scarves that could pose a choking hazard.
5. Pedal Cars have no floorboards (open bottom) - Because Pedal Cars have an open underbody, make sure that your youngster always wears shoes.
