What this means for you

Plain-English summary

Commencal Corp. is recalling approximately 925 Ramones 14-inch children's bicycles sold online at www.commencalusa.com from December 2014 through March 2021 for between $230 and $320. The bicycles are single-speed models available in multiple colors across model years 2015–2021.

Federal regulations require bicycles with seat heights at or below 25 inches to be equipped with foot brakes. These recalled bicycles are equipped only with hand brakes. Young children may not be able to stop the bicycles using handbrakes only, creating a crash hazard and risk of injury.

The bicycles are identified by model year printed on the front fork leg stickers and brand markings ("Ramones" and "Commencal") on the frame, downtube, chainguard, and fork. Affected colors include yellow, red, turquoise, aluminum, burgundy, sand, lagoon, chrome, white, black, and green.

Consumers should immediately take the recalled bicycles away from children and stop using them. Contact Commencal Corp. for a free repair kit at 844-884-9085 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT, Monday–Friday) or visit www.commencalusa.com and click "Recall" at the bottom of the page for more information.
