Marin Mountain Bikes is recalling about 450 units of its 2014 model MBX 50 and Tiny Trail children's bicycles because the handlebars can loosen or separate during use. These 16-inch bicycles were sold in red (boy's MBX 50) and purple (girl's Tiny Trail) at bicycle stores nationwide between September 2013 and December 2014. If the handlebars loosen while a child is riding, it can lead to a loss of control and a crash. Consumers should stop using the bicycles immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement handlebar stem.
The handlebar stem can fail to remain tight, causing the handlebars to rotate or detach. This loss of steering control poses a serious fall and crash hazard to children, although no injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycle and contact Marin for a replacement handlebar stem.
