K2 Sports has recalled approximately 2,700 pairs of VO2 S inline skates because the wheel axles can loosen or shear off during use. This defect can cause a wheel to detach from the skate frame, posing a significant fall hazard to the skater. K2 Sports has received four reports of loose axle hardware, though no injuries have been reported yet. These skates were sold at specialty stores and online at k2sports.com between January 2019 and May 2019.
The skate axle can become loose or snap during use, causing a wheel to separate from the skate's frame while the consumer is skating, which can lead to a fall and potential injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled skates and contact K2 Sports or the store where purchased to return the skates for a free repair. K2 Sports is contacting all known purchasers directly.
