The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Mirraco LLC, of Carlsbad, Calif., announced a voluntary
recall of several models of Mirraco Bicycles. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately.
The front wheel forks on these bicycles could have been welded improperly. This poses a risk that the weld could fail, and the rider could lose control and fall.
The firm has received four reports of steer tube rotation and one report of a fork separation due to failure of the welds. No injuries have been reported. The recall involves BMX bicycles. The model name is printed on the bicycle. Recalled models include the following:
- Blend 3
- Blend 2
- Blend 1
- Blend 1s
- Blend 16
- Black Pearl 3
- Black Pearl 2
- Black Pearl 1
- Fivestar Park
- Icon Moto
- Icon 20Forty
All models were sold at Authorized Mirraco dealers nationwide from November 2006 through January 2007 for between $265 and $550. Consumers should stop using the bicycles immediately and have them inspected by a Mirraco dealer. If the inspection shows that the bicycle is part of the recall, the fork will be replaced free of charge.
