Children´s bicycle AUTHOR VITAL 16

(Prague, June 10, 2009), the Czech Trade Inspectorate discovered that a dangerous consumer product is being sold on the Czech market. This product represents a serious danger mainly to small children and will be reported in to the international warning system RAPEX.

It is a children’s bicycle called AUTHOR VITAL 16“, which failed to comply with basic safety requirements. The inner part of the driving chain gear is not sufficiently covered. The bicycle frame is missing a visible and sturdy label, specifying the manufacturer name or the applicable distributor, or standard/code.

 

It is very likely that when riding this bicycle, clothing, shoe laces or fingers may get caught by the chain, because the chain is not properly covered. This may also cause fall of the riding user. Therefore, this product represents a real danger during common use.

 

The CTI prohibited sale of the above-mention product and the distributor accepted applicable measures and recalled this product from the market.
