Plain-English summary
Wishbone Design Studio Limited is recalling approximately 400 Recycled Edition Bikes sold in the United States. The recall involves two models: a 3-in-1 model adjustable as a 3-wheeler or 2-wheeler, and a 2-wheeler model. These bikes are made from recycled black plastic with 12-inch air-filled white rubber tires. The specific units have date codes of December 2013 or May 2014 located on a round dial on the front frame under the seat.
The recall is due to a hazard where the handlebar can pinch fingers placed at the center where it connects to the bike frame. Wishbone received reports of four incidents involving this defect, including two injuries. One injury required stitches, and the other required restorative surgery. The bikes were sold at independent toy and bike stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com from July 2014 through June 2015 for approximately $200 to $230.
Consumers should immediately stop using the bike and take it away from children. They should contact Wishbone Design Studio or the store where the bike was purchased to obtain a free neoprene cover for the handlebar. Wishbone can be reached toll-free at 888-748-7453 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or online at www.wishbonedesign.com.
