Reported risk: The "Midget Racer" mini-bicycle is yellow with 8-inch black rubber tires, black seat and black handgrips. The mini-bicycle is about 31 inches long and 23 inches high. "MIDGET RACER" and "KENT" are written in red lettering on the frame of the bicycle. Kent previously notified many of the consumers who purchased the recalled mini-bicycles about the recall, but about 2,200 of the mini- bicycles still have not been returned. All Kent mini-bicycles have black plastic caps on the tops of the front-wheel fork. Kent mini-bicycles with black plastic caps covering the chrome portion of the tops and sides of the front-wheel fork are not included in this recall. Hazards: The front fork assembly on these mini-bicycles can loosen or break, and cause the rider to lose control and crash.
