Chillafish is recalling approximately 29,000 BMXie, Jack, and Josie children’s balance bikes because the wheel rims can crack if the tires are overinflated. This defect can cause plastic pieces of the rim to fly off, posing a risk of cuts to children or bystanders. Chillafish has received 19 reports of plastic rims separating, including two instances where consumers were cut by flying debris. These bikes were sold at Sam's Club, Amazon, Target, and ToysRUs between November 2013 and November 2015 for approximately $55 to $80. Consumers should stop using the bikes until they can deflate the tires and contact the company for a free repair.
Overinflated tires can put too much pressure on the plastic wheel rims, causing them to shatter or crack. This can result in sharp plastic fragments being expelled from the wheel at high speed, which can cause lacerations and impact injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop children from using the recalled bikes until the tires are deflated to a pressure at or below 32 psi and contact Chillafish for a free repair. Chillafish is contacting consumers directly.
