West Marine recalled about 4,600 folding bicycles because their frames can break during use.
This recall involves the Jetty Express 2 and the Port Runner 2 models, which are designed for use in and around docks and marinas. The Jetty Express 2 has a blue and white frame and folds at a hinge in the middle. Jetty Express 2 is printed on the bike’s frame. The Port Runner 2 has a red frame and folds at a hinge in the middle. Port Runner 2 is printed on the bike’s frame.
West Marine has received three reports of the bicycle’s frame breaking, resulting in bruises and scrapes to a rider. The retailer is advising consumers to immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and return them to one of its stores for a free replacement folding bicycle.
West Marine sold the bikes nationwide, online and via its catalog from March 2010 through July 2013 for between $300 and $400. They were manufactured in China by West Marine Products Inc. of Wastsonville, CA
