The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: Scored 4 under the significant injury criterion: 22 frame fractures and three tube separations have been reported, one causing an injury in a fall.
Plain-English summary
Vaast A/1 bicycles and framesets are being recalled, covering 35 bicycle models and 15 frameset models sold in Berry Red, Sea Blue, Matte Black and Black Forest Green. The frames carry the "VAAST" logo on both sides of the upper down tube, and serial numbers are found underneath the frame on the bottom bracket.
The bicycle frame can develop a hairline fracture near a weld, which can cause the tubes to separate, posing a risk of falling. The firm has had 22 consumers report frame fractures and three report frame tube separation, one of which resulted in a minor injury after falling from the bike.
About 1,860 units are affected, with about four more sold in Canada. The retail and distribution field in the CPSC record for this recall duplicates text belonging to a different product, so no retailer or sale-period details are given here.
Consumers should immediately stop using the bicycles and frames and contact Super Wheels Inc. for a free replacement. After registering the bike at www.vaastbikes.com/contact-us/, Super Wheels will provide a replacement frame and pay up to $200 for a bike shop technician to rebuild the bike.
