WASHINGTON, Nov. 13 (UPI) -- Easton Sports is recalling about 6,400 of its bicycles because they could break, causing riders to fall and get hurt, a U.S. watchdog agency says.
Bicycles made with EA30 stems are involved in the voluntary recall, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced. The stems, which connect the handlebar to the steering fork, can crack and cause the bicycler to lose control and risk injury during a fall.
The recall includes Raleigh 2007, XXIX 700c MTN, RX1.0, Diamondback 2007, Mission and Sortie bicycles with EA30 stems.
The bicycles were imported from China by Easton Sports of Scotts Valley, Calif., and sold nationwide from August 2007 through August 2009 for between $500 and $1,200 apiece.
Stems sold individually were sold for about $30.
Consumers were advised to stop riding the bicycles with the recalled stems and contact any authorized Easton Sports dealer for a free replacement stem.
Consumers can call 866-892-6059 for information.
