The CSPC announced a recall on Electra “Amsterdam” model bicycles. The interior alignment tabs of the bicycle’s chainguard can push against the chain, causing the chain to derail. This can pose a serious risk of injury to riders. Amsterdam model bicycles in the Classic 3, Original 3, Royal 8, and Sport 3 styles are involved in the recall. The bikes were sold nationwide from January 2007 through June 2008 for between $400 and $850 at authorized Electra dealers. This is the second Electra bike recall. The total number of bikes involved in both recalls tops 10,000. Electra has received a report of injuries related to this defect.

It seems like there is a new product recall every few days. I am especially concerned about all the recalls on recreational products and office products. I now have a personal file that alerts me to office product recalls. I also receive timely notices when one of my recrational toys has been recalled. You can receive the recalls and update notices at the product blog page.
