CPSC & Dynacraft Industries Recall Mountain Bikes
The hazard
These bikes could have defective handlebar stems, which will not tighten sufficiently to lock onto the bicycles. This can cause the front wheel not to turn properly, resulting in serious injuries to the rider, from falls.
Incidents reported: Dynacraft Industries is not aware of any injuries or incidents involving these bicycles. This recall is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
What to do now
Consumers should stop riding these bikes immediately and take them to the Fred Meyer Store where purchased, for a free inspection and repair, if needed.
Contact: Consumers can call Dynacraft Industries Inc. at (800) 551-0032 between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. PDT Monday through Friday to receive a free replacement handlebar stem.
