2 official CPSC notices naming Recreational Equipment, 2001–2005, across clothing & accessories and sports & outdoors.
Totals add up the figures the notices state, counting a reannounced recall once. A notice that gives no number adds nothing.
One notice where the recalled product is a clothing.
The adjustment cords, located on the rear of the hats, use a snap-on plastic pull. The snap-on plastic pull could separate from the cord, posing a choking hazard to young children.
One notice where the recalled product is a bicycle.
The alloy frame used for these bicycles can be prone to fatigue failure. Frame failure results in the separation of the fork, head tube, and handlebar away from the rest of the bike, causing a loss of control and crash, and posing a risk of serious injury to the rider.
The recall contact each official notice gives, newest first. Contacts can change after a notice is published; the notice itself is the final word.
