The CPSC and York Barbell Co. are recalling about 3,300
Olympic Weightlifting Bars. Due to a defect in the sleeve
mechanism, the bar can break under the pressure of
significant weight, which could injure consumers and
by-standers. York Barbell has received two reports of
bars breaking under the pressure of significant weight.
No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves all 7 Intl Hard Chrome 1000 lb. and
1500 lb. test Olympic bars with model number 32012
