Delta Cycle Bicycle Stem Raisers Recalled for Fall Hazard

Delta Cycle and Dimension Stem Raisers can shift during use, causing handlebars to move unexpectedly and creating a fall hazard. About 500,000 units sold nationwide from January 1998 through January 2024.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source explicitly states no injuries have been reported, and the hazard is a shift during use that poses a theoretical fall risk without documented harm. This meets the criterion for a score of 2 (Moderate) as a precautionary recall with potential for injury but no reported incidents.
