Plain-English summary

Meijer Stores is recalling approximately 68,000 two-wheeled youth and adult bicycles from the brands Huffy, Iron Horse, Mongoose, Northwoods, Pacific, Razor, and Schwinn. The recall involves models measuring 20 inches or more that were assembled on-site at Meijer stores by Serv-U-Success of Grandville, Michigan. These bicycles were sold between March 2012 and August 2012 for between $60 and $300 in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and return them to any Meijer store for a full refund or a replacement bicycle of the same type and value.
