What happened

Nirve Sports is recalling three chopper-style bicycle models—Red Star, Skulls, and Cannibal—because the bicycle stem on the handlebars can crack and cause riders to lose control, creating a serious fall and injury hazard. The affected bicycles have model names printed on the chain guard, and consumers can identify them by checking the serial number located on the bottom of the bicycle between the pedals against the specific serial number ranges listed for each model.

Consumers who own one of these recalled bicycles should immediately stop riding them and return the bicycles to the place of purchase for free repair.
