Dynacraft is recalling bicycles sold at Target because of the frame can crack while in use, causing the rider to lose control and suffer injuries from a fall or collision.
The firm has received two reports of bicycle frames cracking, resulting in minor injuries including scratches to the legs and feet.
This recall involves Triax PK7 (model 8509-24) and Vertical PK7 (model 8596-71T) 20-inch aluminum cushion framed bicycles. The Triax model was manufactured between October 2005 and May 2006, and the Vertical model was manufactured between August 2004 and December 2004. The model numbers and manufacture dates are printed on a label affixed to the bicycle frame.
The bikes were sold at Target stores nationwide from September 2004 through early February 2007 for about $100.
Consumers should stop riding these bicycles immediately and return them to the nearest Target store to receive a full refund, including applicable sales tax.
