ATTENTION SPECIALIZED BIKE RIDERS: BEWARE OF PRODUCT LIABILITY DEFECTS!

Minnesota and Wisconsin Product Liability Lawyer Is Concerned With Your Safety.

 

You’re an experience rider.  You paid good money for your Specialized bike.

(Probably lots and lots of money.)  So don’t get tossed when the bike fails you! You need to know about recalls on Specialized handlebars and cable-stops before you get hurt.  Or, if you’ve already been hurt because of one of these product defects, you need to know that attorney Nate Bjerke and the product liability lawyers at Champion Law LLC can tell you about your rights and claims. 

The first Specialized recall relates to breaking handlebars.  This recall involves HL handlebars on the following 2009 Specialized bicycles: Cross Trail Comp, Myka HT Comp, Myka HT Elite, Rockhopper, Rockhopper Comp and Rockhopper Comp 29. The model number of the HL handlebar is ALR-13 NTFOV and is located underneath the right hand grip of the handlebar. One rider had the handlebars break, causing a crash and head trauma. 

 

 

  

 

The second recall relates to the cable stop.  The cable stop on some bikes can loosen.  The recall is for the following bikes: 2004 Roubaix Comp 18, 2004 Roubaix Comp 27, 2004 Roubaix Pro 18, and 2004 Roubaix Pro frameset models.

Single Rivet Cable Stop IS Recalled

 

Double Rivet Cable Stop Is Not Recalled

 

Only bicycles with a single rivet fastening the cable stop to the frame are subject to recall. The cable stop is attached through bonding materials and a single rivet mounted at the front of the bicycle. The cables pass through eyelets in the cable stop on the down tube. Bicycles with a double rivet fastening the cable stop to the frame are not subject to recall. The model names of the recalled bicycles can be found on the top tube of the bicycles. One rider had the cable stop loosen, lost control and ended up with fractures and surgery.  

If you have one of these bikes, stop riding it!  Call your dealer and get the parts replaced – Specialized will pick up the tab. 

 If we’re getting to you too late and you’ve already been hurt, call Nate Bjerke, or one of the other lawyers at his firm, Champion Law LLC at 866-778-2919. 

 

Why should you call Nate Bjerke instead of some other lawyer?  Because Nate and Champion Law know product liability cases inside and out.  Nate used to defend giant manufacturing companies and knows that even when they recall products, they don’t always treat people who have been hurt by those defective products fairly. Champion Law levels the playing field.
