Bicycle Pedals Recalled by Time Sport International Due to Fall Hazard
07014 · Recalled 2006-10-25 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled pedals are black or gray. They are made of composite material and are mounted to either a steel or titanium pedal axle and bearing unit by using a threaded aluminum bearing cap. Pedals that have a gold dot on the underside of the pedal body just inside where the bearing cap is mounted to the pedal body are not included in this recall.
Hazards
The pedal's bearing cap can fail causing the pedal to come off the bicycle. This poses a fall hazard for riders.
Reported injuries
The firm has received reports of eight incidents in which the pedal came off the bicycle, resulting in minor injuries.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the recalled pedals immediately and contact TIME SPORT INTERNATIONAL to arrange for the pedals to be inspected and, if necessary, receive a free repair.
