What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where a specific injury (eye injury) has been reported, but no fatalities or severe systemic injuries are documented, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for reported injury without critical escalation.

Plain-English summary

Todson Inc. is recalling approximately 10,000 Topeak Joe Blow Comp bicycle tire floor pumps. The recalled pumps are black with gray or silver trim and stand about 26 inches tall. They feature the date codes 200003 through 200012 and 200101 through 200108 located under the pressure gauge, and the words "Made in Taiwan" and "Joe Blow COMP" are printed on the side.

The recall was initiated because the pressure gauge lens can separate from the pump and strike a consumer, causing injury. Todson has received one report of a pressure gauge lens detaching and striking a consumer, resulting in an eye injury.

These pumps were sold by independent bicycle retailers nationwide between March 2000 and August 2001 for about $40. Consumers should stop using the pump immediately and contact Todson at (800) 250-3068 or visit www.Topeak.com to receive a replacement pump.
