Plain-English summary
Seattle Bike Supply of Kent, Washington, is recalling approximately 1,400 2001 Torker Blaster 16-inch Boy's bicycles and Sunflower 16-inch Girl's bicycles. The recalled bicycles were sold nationwide at bicycle stores from September 2000 through December 2000 for about $130. The Torker Blaster models are available in red, black, blue, or chrome, while the Sunflower models are available in yellow, pink, or fluorescent green.
The bicycles are being recalled because the pedals are positioned too low to the ground, failing to meet federal bicycle standards. This design defect can cause a child to lose control if a pedal strikes the ground while riding, potentially leading to falls and injuries. Seattle Bike Supply has received one report of a 4-year-old boy falling when his pedal struck the ground, though no injuries were reported in that incident.
Consumers should stop using these bicycles immediately and return them to the store where they were purchased for a free repair. For more information, consumers can call Seattle Bike Supply at (800) 283-2453 or write to them at 7620 S. 192nd, Kent, WA 98032.
