Hazard
Because the bikes' pedals are too low to the ground, they fail to meet federal bicycle standards. Children can lose control when a pedal strikes the ground, causing falls and injuries.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the bicycles immediately, and return them to the store where purchased for a free repair.
Sold at
Bicycle stores sold these bicycles nationwide, from September 2000 through December 2000, for about $130.
Affected count
About 1,400
Injuries reported
Seattle Bike Supply has received one report of a 4-year-old boy whose pedal struck the ground, while riding one of these bikes, causing him to fall. No injuries were reported.
