NEW YORK—Segway is recalling about 220,000 of its scooters sold across the United States due to a fall hazard that has resulted in user injuries ranging from bruises to broken bones.

According to a notice published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the folding mechanism in Segway’s Ninebot Max G30P and Max G30LP KickScooters can fail during use—causing the handlebars or stem of the scooters to fold.
