The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with World Wide Cycle Supply, is voluntarily recalling about 25,000 Harley-Davidson 16-inch BMX Bicycles. The company stated that the fork that holds the front wheel can separate at the weld, causing the rider to fall and suffer injuries.
World Wide Cycle Supply Inc. has received 15 reports of fork welds breaking on these bicycles. There have been reports of six riders suffering injuries including injuries to the face, hands and mouth such as bruises, lacerations and lost teeth. The products were sold at Toys “R” Us stores nationwide from July 2002 through June 2005 for about $80. Consumers should stop riding the bicycle immediately and return it to a Toys “R” Us store for store credit in the amount of the purchase price.
