Commencal Corp. is recalling about 925 Ramones 14-inch children's bicycles because they do not have foot brakes as required by federal safety regulations. These single-speed bicycles, sold online from December 2014 through March 2021, were equipped only with hand brakes, which may be difficult for young children to use effectively. No incidents or injuries have been reported, and the company is offering a free repair kit to all affected customers.
Federal law requires bicycles with seat heights of 25 inches or lower to have foot brakes because young children may lack the hand strength or coordination to stop the bike using only hand brakes, creating a crash and injury hazard.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled bikes away from children, stop using them, and contact the firm for a free repair kit. Commencal Corp. is contacting all purchasers directly by email.
Model year is printed on the front fork leg stickers. 'Ramones' or 'Commencal' branding appears on the frame tubes, fork, and chainguard.
