What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Although no serious injuries or fatalities have been reported, the source describes 86 reports of handlebar loosening with three confirmed falls, demonstrating that the risk-of-harm hazard (fall and injury from unstable handlebar) has already manifested in actual incidents. This meets the High criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has been reported.
