BETHESDA, Md. — Giant Bicycle is recalling 20,800 models from 2021 because a faulty adjustable handlebar stem caused riders to fall and suffer injuries.
According to a recall notice by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, “the adjustable handlebar stem on the bicycles can become loose, posing fall and injury hazards.”
The recall involves four models, according to the CPSC: Liv Flourish FS 1, Giant Escape 3 Comfort, Liv Alight 3 Comfort and Giant Cypress DX.
Giant Bicycle Inc., of Newbury Park, California, stated in a news release that it has received 86 reports of the bicycle’s handlebar becoming loose, including three reports of riders falling off their bicycles.
