Plain-English summary

Waterloo Industries is recalling Husky Securelock Vertical Bike Hooks used with the Husky Trackwall garage storage system. The recall involves approximately 105,000 units sold in the U.S. and 15,000 in Canada. The hooks are 3 by 3.5 inch black metal plates that mount to the Trackwall grooves to hold a bike tire. The hooks have no markings, while the Trackwall has "Husky" printed on the lower left corner. The hooks are rated to hold up to a 35-pound bike.

The mounted bike hooks can unexpectedly detach, allowing the bike to fall. This poses a risk of injury to bystanders. The firm has received 22 reports of the bike hooks falling from the mounted Trackwall, including 12 reports of property damage to bicycles and/or nearby vehicles. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled hooks were sold exclusively at Home Depot stores nationwide from April 2011 to March 2015 for about $9. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled hooks and return them to the nearest Home Depot store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Waterloo Industries at (800) 833-8851 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.homedepot.com and click on "product recalls".
