WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Cycle Country Accessories Corporation is announcing the recall and free retrofit of their snow blades used on all terrain vehicles (ATVs).
The snow blades, available in kits manufactured prior to June 1991, used a solid lift link to raise the snow blade. Under certain conditions, this solid lift link may cause the snow blade's lift lever to swing back, striking the operator's knee. In June 1991, Cycle Country Accessories changed the design using a chain link to lift the snow blade to reserve the solid link as a tool-box accessory for special applications.
Cycle Country Accessories is aware of three reports of the lift levers with the solid link striking the ATV operator's knee.
The snow blade attachment is an ATV add-on kit, which includes a plow blade and the related hardware. When attached to an ATV, the snow blade can be used for plowing snow, gravel, or other light plowing duties. Cycle Country Accessories distributed the plow blade kits with the solid lift link from 1982 to 1991.
Consumers who purchased a Cycle Country snow blade kit for their ATV before or during 1991 can get a free chain link by contacting the ATV dealer who sold them the snow blade kit. They can also call Cycle Country toll-free at (800) 841-2222.

The youth ATVs fail to comply with the requirements of the federal mandatory ATV safety standard. Children can operate them above the maximum allowed speed, increasing the risk of a crash that can cause serious injuries. The handlebars pose a laceration hazard should the child rider’s body or head impact the handlebars at a high rate of speed such as in a crash. In addition, the parking brake does not prevent the movement of the vehicle at the minimum required steepness. ATVs that fail to meet the mandatory safety requirements pose a risk of serious injury or death to children.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury or death 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. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products has contributed to a decline in the rate of injuries associated with consumer products over the past 50 years.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
