Description

The recalled 21-speed mountain bikes, sold in the 24-inch size for girls and boys, and the 26-inch size for women and men. The bikes have a model number on the left side of the seat post. The girls' bikes have model number 8504-50 and are purple. The boys' bikes have model number 8504-51 and are blue. The women's bikes have model number 8547-84 and also are purple. The mens' bikes have model number 8547-85 and are black. The words "Great Divide" are located on the cross-tubes of these bicycles and the word "KALLOY" is located on the handlebar stems.

Hazard

These bikes could have defective handlebar stems, which will not tighten sufficiently to lock onto the bicycles. This can cause the front wheel not to turn properly, resulting in serious injuries to the rider, from falls.

Remedy

Consumers should stop riding these bikes immediately and take them to the Fred Meyer Store where purchased, for a free inspection and repair, if needed.
