Plain-English summary
Dynacraft BSC Inc. is recalling approximately 32,000 Triax PK7 and Vertical PK7 20-inch aluminum cushion framed bicycles. These bicycles were sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide from September 2004 through early February 2007 for about $100. The Triax model (8509-24) was manufactured between November 2005 and October 2006, while the Vertical model (8596-71T) was manufactured between August 2004 and December 2004. The model numbers and manufacture dates are printed on a label affixed to the bicycle frame.
The recall is due to a defect where the bicycle frame can crack while in use. This failure can cause the rider to lose control, resulting in injuries from a fall or collision. Dynacraft has received two reports of bicycle frames cracking, which resulted in minor injuries including scratches to the legs and feet.
Consumers should stop riding these bicycles immediately. They can return the bicycles to the nearest Target store to receive a full refund, including applicable sales tax. For additional information, consumers can contact Dynacraft at (800) 551-0032 or Target at (800) 440-0680.
