Description
Bicycles that are part of this recall are all model year 2001 Torker Blaster 16-inch Boy's bicycles in red, black, blue, or chrome, and Sunflower 16-inch Girl's bicycles in yellow, pink or florescent green. The Torker brand name and the model names are on the frames.
Hazard
Because the bikes' pedals are too low to the ground, they fail to meet federal bicycle standards. Children can lose control when a pedal strikes the ground, causing falls and injuries.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the bicycles immediately, and return them to the store where purchased for a free repair.
Incidents and injuries
Seattle Bike Supply has received one report of a 4-year-old boy whose pedal struck the ground, while riding one of these bikes, causing him to fall. No injuries were reported.
