Bike Friday is recalling approximately 3,800 Tikit brand folding bicycles because the handlebar stem can break during use. This defect causes the rider to lose control and fall, which has already resulted in six reports of broken stems and two injuries involving scrapes, bruises, and a head laceration requiring stitches. These custom 16-inch wheel bicycles were sold in various colors between January 2007 and September 2012. Consumers should stop using the bikes immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free repair.
The handlebar stem can snap while the bicycle is being ridden, causing an immediate loss of steering control. This leads to the rider falling from the bike, which has caused injuries such as head lacerations and significant bruising.
Consumers should immediately stop riding the bicycle and contact Bike Friday to schedule a free repair.
