Segway Inc. is recalling about 23,500 scooters because the wheels can reverse direction and cause the rider to fall.
Owners should stop using the devices immediately and contact Segway for a free software upgrade to fix the problem, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Thursday.
The recall affects Segways sold between March 2002 and mid-September of this year.
There have been six reports where the scooter has not operated properly, resulting in head and wrist injuries for users, Segway said.
Segway owners can reach the company at (800) 750-6557 or visit www.segway.com for the software upgrade.
