Raleigh America is recalling about 1,200 Cadent style bicycles with carbon fiber forks after receiving reports that the forks broke under normal use.
The recall, in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (see press release), involves the 2007 Raleigh Cadent 1.0, Cadent 2.0 and Cadent Carbon (pictured) bicycle models with carbon forks.
Raleigh received three reports of forks breaking resulting in riders suffering a dislocated shoulder, a concussion and a broken jaw.
The bikes were sold through Raleigh dealers from January through June this year. Consumers should stop riding the bicycles immediately and take them back to the dealerships, where the forks will be replaced.
The faulty forks were manufactured by Carbonage Technology, of Baoan, China.
