REI is recalling 260 bicycles produced four years ago after two reports of fork separations from steering tubes.
The malfunctions caused severe injuries, including broken collarbone and teeth, facial damage and head injuries, according to the recall notice put out by REI and the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The bikes in the recall are Novara Trionfo bicycles with Aprebic carbon fiber forks. They are blue and white with black forks and were sold nationwide from January 2005 to August 2006 for $720 to $1,900.
REI asks that users stop riding the bicycles immediately and return them to REI for a free repair.
Contact REI at (800) 426-4840 between 7 a.m. and 2 a.m. ET Monday through Friday, or check the REI recall page (which didn't have the recall notice up yet).
