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.

Plain-English summary

Campus Cruisers LLC is recalling approximately 100 Eastside Fix model bicycles due to a defect in the front fork. The single-speed bicycles feature an aluminum frame and fork and were sold in royal blue with a white leather seat and white gel grips. The recalled bicycles were sold at independent bicycle dealers nationwide from March 2010 through May 2010 for about $450.

The bicycle's front fork can crack or break, which may cause a sudden loss of steering control and pose a fall hazard to bicyclists. The firm has received four reports of lateral cracks beneath the front fork's crown. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop riding bicycles with the recalled front forks. They can contact their local Campus Cruisers dealer to schedule a free repair.
