These blue zinc die-cast flywheels, manufactured before 2008, can shatter during use and throw metal fragments into the air. RacerMate has received five reports of flywheels shattering, which resulted in three injuries including lacerations and leg bruises. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled blue flywheels and contact RacerMate for a free silver replacement flywheel.
The zinc die-cast flywheel can shatter while spinning at high speeds, propelling sharp metal pieces toward the rider or bystanders, which can cause impact injuries and lacerations.
