Children's bike manufacturer woom Bikes USA, together with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, have announced the recall of the woom ORIGINAL balance bike due to a crash hazard. This comes after the brand received 77 reports of the handlebar stem detaching or loosening, resulting in 19 minor injuries.
The stem and handlebar on the woom ORIGINAL bikes are secured to the steerer tube by a single bolt which can loosen, allowing the stem and bars to detach and cause young riders to lose control and , potentially, fall off.
