Walmart e-scooters have been urgently recalled after dozens of reports of brake failure. 

Hover-1 Dynamo e-scooters, sold exclusively online at Walmart.com, have been recalled by their manufacturer DGL Group after the company received 22 reports of the e-scooter's brakes failing.

Seven injuries, including fractured teeth and a dislocated shoulder, were caused by the $200 scooters.

The 4,200 affected scooters have the letter 'WY' as the seventh and eighth letter in the serial number and were sold between November 2021 and July 2022. 

The serial number is located on a label on the scooter's underside. 

The scooters are matte black with a kick stand and reflective lights at the front and back of the stand board. 

The Hover-1 logo appears on the stand board, on the bottom of the stem and on the middle of the stem.

'Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled beds and contact Home Design for free replacement slats and side rails,' the recall urged.
