Reported risk: A quick release lever on the bicycle's front wheel hub, when improperly adjusted or left open, can come into contact with the front disc brake assembly and cause the front wheel to come to a sudden stop or separate from the bicycle, posing a fall hazard. Neither Health Canada nor the recalling companies has received any reports of consumer incidents or injuries related to the use of these front disc brakes with quick release levers in Canada. In the United States, there have been three incidents reported in which an open quick release lever on a bicycle's front wheel hub came into contact with the bike's front disc brake assembly and caused the front wheel to come to a sudden stop or separate from the bicycle. In one incident, an adult male suffered a broken finger, a wrist injury, a shoulder injury and abrasions. No injuries were reported in the other two incidents.
