Okai lime maker says it's not responsible for the recalled scooters

Last week, Lime, the start-up of electric scooters, recalled scooters that split in two and blamed a manufacturer.

Chinese manufacturer Okai rejected Lime's claims that its factory scooters were the ones that broke easily when customers used them.

"We think it's necessary to warn the public about the credibility of such statements from Lime," Okai said in a statement, according to CNN Business. "Of course, Lime has other suppliers whose scooters are broken down."

Lime has recalled all the scooters manufactured by Okai in its fleet around the world. The manufacturer sold 32,000 scooters to Lime, according to CNN Business.

"We are actively investigating reports that Okai-made scooters could break and working in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission and the relevant international agencies to get to the bottom of the story," said Lime. Fortune last week. "Safety is Lime's top priority and as a precaution, we are immediately putting all Okai scooters in the world fleet out of service. The vast majority of Lime's fleet is made by other companies, and Okai scooters, taken out of service, are being replaced by newer, more advanced scooters, considered the best in their class for safety. "

The lime did not immediately respond to the request for comments from Fortune on Okai's comments.

While questioning the fact that Lime is blamed for the recalled scooters, Okai is pushing the company to take responsibility for the deterioration of scooters widely used in his park.

"It's the operator's responsibility to ensure proper and timely management and maintenance of the scooters he places on the co-share market," Okai told CNN Business.

The Lime scooter recall is the second of the past two months, after a reminder of Segway Ninebot scooters whose batteries caught fire.
