CPSC, Profile Design Announce Recall of Bicycle Handlebar Stems

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The stem connects the bicycle's handlebars to the fork. These stems can break during use, causing the bicycle rider to crash and suffer serious injuries.

What to do

Consumers should stop using bicycles with these stems immediately, and either call Profile Design to get a free replacement stem, or return the bicycle with the recalled stem to a Profile-Design retailer, to have the stem replaced free of charge.
