Today the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a recall for the Redline Cyclocross bicycle because of dangerous bike framesets. The fork on the bike can seperate from the crown and cause the rider of the bike to lose control.
The manufacturer of the Redline Cyclocross, the Seattle Bike Supply, has reported that they have received to date five reports of cracks near the fork's crown.
The bikes were sold between July 2009 and May 2010 for approximately $1,400. The frames were sold seperately for $400. They are black and yellow and have "Redline" written on the frame of the bicycle.

What to Do If You Got Injured on a Recalled Bicycle
If you were injured on a recalled bicycle it is important that you get medical attention immediately. Get your wounds, fractures, broken bones, or other injuries treated by a professional and go to any follow-up appointments or physical therapy appointments. As far as finding out who is responsible for your injuries you will want to check to see if the make and model of your bike was included in the bicycle recall that was announced. If it was you will want to speak to a Staten Island bicycle injury lawyer or a Staten Island product recall lawyer regarding the injuries you sustained on the bike that was recalled. If your bicycle was not included in the recall but you believe the bicycle is indeed defective you will want to contact the manufacturers of the bike and also the CPSC. Again you will want to contact a bicycle defect lawyer to discuss if you have a case.
