Recall details

Why it was recalled

According to the RAPEX notice, the identified hazard is: The brake blocks of the bicycle contain asbestos fibres. Asbestos causes cancer. Moreover, the handlebar is too wide, not resistant enough and can misalign from the fork too easily, leading to a loss of the bicycle's control and increasing the risk of a fall and injuries to the rider. Additionally, the bicycle lacks all required reflectors - including front, rear, side, and pedal reflectors - which are crucial for visibility in low-light conditions. This increases the risk of an accident and injuries for the rider.

This Serious risk recall concerns Childcare articles and children's equipment products distributed in Iceland and was recorded by RAPEX. Recalls in this category are published so that owners, retailers, and importers can identify affected units and act quickly.
