Nirve Sports has just announced the recall of three styles of "Chopper" bicycles for kids. The bikes' handlebar stems can crack and break apart, causing a fall hazard. Fortunately the reports have all been about bicycles breaking during assembly, so there have been no injuries.
Unfortunately the bicycles cost $300-600 so it's safe to assume there have been some disappointed kids and some very disappointed parents. The recalled bicycles were manufactured in China.
If you have this recall toy in your home, you should take it away from children immediately.
