What happened

Chillafish is recalling all BMXie, Jack, and Josie balance bikes designed for children ages 2 to 5 due to a laceration hazard. When tires become overinflated, the wheel rims can crack and send pieces of plastic flying, which could cause cuts or lacerations. The recalled bikes include BMXie models in blue, lime green, pink, red, and yellow (with item reference numbers CPMX01BLU, CPMX01LIM, CPMX01PIN, CPMX01RED, or CPMX01YEL); Jack bikes in black and orange with flames (item reference number CPJJ02BLA); and Josie bikes in white and pink with flowers (item reference number CPJJ02WHI).

According to the recall, consumers should immediately stop children from using the affected bikes until the tires are deflated to a pressure at or below 32 psi. Consumers should then contact Chillafish for a free repair, as the company is contacting consumers directly to arrange this service.
