Plain-English summary
Two models of Lezyne bicycle floor pump are being recalled: the Pressure Over Drive with analog gauge and the Digital Pressure Over Drive with digital gauge. The black tubeless floor pumps are made of steel and aluminium with a natural wood-coloured handle and a nylon-reinforced braided hose, with the Lezyne logo printed on the side. Only pumps with a particular bleed valve configuration are included.
The pump's canister can forcefully eject from the base when pressurised, posing a risk of serious injury from impact to the user or a bystander. Lezyne has received one report of a canister ejecting from its base, resulting in serious injuries to the face.
About 7,500 units were sold, with about 680 more in Canada, at bicycle stores nationwide including Art's Cyclery, Incycle, Bike Bling, Sports Basement and Over the Edge Sports, and online, from May 2016 through December 2021 for between $150 and $180.
