Plain-English summary

Eecycleworks LLC is recalling about 400 'eebrake' model aftermarket bicycle brakes. The recall involves brakes sold between September 2008 and March 2011 for use on adult road racing bicycles. The recalled models feature a white 'ee' logo on the front and a five-digit serial number beginning with '80xxx' or '09xxx' engraved on the strut portion.

The bridge of the recalled brakes can crack, which poses a fall hazard to riders. The firm has received two reports of brakes cracking, one of which resulted in scrapes and bruises.

The brakes were sold at specialty bicycle retailers nationwide and on eecycleworks.com for between $570 and $590. Consumers should immediately stop riding bicycles with the recalled brakes and contact eecycleworks or the retailer where they purchased the brakes for a free replacement bridge.
