Recall: Specialized Allez Bikes Recalled Due to Crash Hazard
The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a recall of about 5,550 “Specialized Allez” bikes. An additional 390 units have been recalled in Canada. The recall includes the Specialized Allez, Allez Sport, and Allez Elite bikes.
There is a concern that the fork on the bikes can break and cause the rider to lose control and crash.
The bikes were manufactured in Taiwan and imported by Specialized Bicycle Components Inc. They were sold at authorized retailers nationwide from July 2017 through December 2017. Federal law bars any person from selling products subject to a publicly announced recall by a manufacturer or a mandatory recall ordered by the CPSC.
Consumers should immediately stop using this product.
More than 500,000 people each year end up in the emergency room due to bike accident-related injuries. Toy-related injuries occur in the United States each year.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has implemented mandatory federal safety standards for the manufacturing and sale of bicycles that are designed to protect consumers and children against injuries.
Parents and care providers should report dangerous products and product-related injuries to the CPSC by going online to www.SaferProducts.gov or calling CPSC’s Hotline at 800-638-2772.
