In an effort to live a greener life, many people have turned to bicycles as their primary form of transportation. Unfortunately, like many other products, bicycles may have their defects and cause serious injuries to people. Many bicycles have been recalled for different reasons, including the following:
- Specialized 2009 Model Bicycles have been recalled because the handlebars can break. Some of the reported injuries include head trauma, unconsciousness and wound to the arm.
- Salsa Bicycles that have handlebar stems, which can break or crack and result in a falling hazard to the rider. Recall includes the “CroMoto S.U.L.” stems on the Ala Carte, el Mariachi, Casseroll Triple, Casseroll Single and La Cruz Salsa Bicycles.
