Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C.- In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Performance Inc., of Chapel Hill, N.C., is voluntarily recalling 1,150 wheel rims on Performance Road bicycles. The rims can crack causing the rider to lose control of the bicycle, fall, and suffer injuries.
Performance has received two reports of rims failing, though no injuries have been reported.
The recalled rims were used on both the front and rear wheels of the 2001 Model bicycles (with the R-101 model name), Performance Forte/Forte SL rims, and Performance Forte SL road wheels. The silver or black rims have the above-mentioned brand and model names on the rim (i.e., "Forte Pro SL").
Performance Stores and the company's website sold these bicycle rims from February 2001 through October 2001 for $600 for Performance bicycles and between $35 and $130 for bicycle wheels with rims built on.
Consumers should stop using these bicycles immediately and return the wheels to a Performance Store for free replacement rims. Consumers also can call Performance at (800) 553-8324 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.

The racket sets violate the mandatory standard for toys because the screw on the racket used to secure the battery compartment does not remain attached when opened, and the button cell batteries in the shuttlecock can be easily accessed by children. If button cell or coin batteries are swallowed, the ingested batteries can cause serious injuries, including internal chemical burns, and death.
The recalled youth ATVs violate the federal mandatory ATV safety standard, posing a risk of serious injury or death. The youth ATVs fail to meet mechanical suspension requirements, and the reverse indicator light fails to illuminate, posing a crash hazard. The parking brakes fail to hold, posing a collision hazard. Additionally, the surfaces near the footwell can reach high temperatures, posing a risk of severe burns.
The recalled resistance bands can forcefully separate from the handle during use, posing a risk of serious injury from impact hazard.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
