There are no specific manufacturing defects with WTPs current round of bikes. Generally a manufacturing flaw would on apply directly to WTP if it was a frame or fork or other part manufactured directly by WTP (which are manufactured by Haro)
BMX is a rough sport that is tough on both bikes and riders. The problems you are describing sound like rider error or assembly issues. A snapped pedal spindle actually requires a fair bit of force, it seems likely the spindle either pulled free from the crank arm (probably due to poor installation) or the pedal body itself separated from the spindle. I would need more information on the "gear-wheel" malfunction you have described and the handlebars likely slipped at the clamp or the stem itself pulled free from the steerer.
Again. BMX riding is hard on bikes and hard on riders. Kids are hard on bikes. It’s a winning combination.
