Academy Sports + Outdoors is recalling about 6,000 Ozone 500 Density series bicycles because the front wheel's locking hardware can loosen during use. This defect causes the front wheel to become unstable, which can lead to the rider losing control and falling. The recall includes four specific models of men's, women's, boys', and girls' bicycles sold in various colors at Academy Sports + Outdoors stores and online from October 2020 through November 2020. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should stop using these bikes immediately to receive a free repair or replacement parts.
The hardware that locks the front wheel in place can loosen over time, making the front wheel unstable and prone to shaking or detaching. This instability poses a significant risk of the rider falling and suffering impact injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact Academy Sports + Outdoors for a free repair or free replacement hardware.
