Cannondale Six 5 and Six 6 series Product Recall

[Guest Big H]

From Road Bike Rider

 

Product recall:  About 1,300 Cannondale Six 5 and Six 6 series road bikes are being recalled because they were sold without spoke protector discs on the rear wheel, a violation of U.S. safety standards.

 

Typical Yank farting around with law and liability issues!!!!!!!

You dont need a lawyer to complain to force a recall.

 

In the USA all a member of the public has to do is show possible liability to a relevant consumer protection authority, they will refer it to the federal government and they will enforce a recall.

 

Nothing wrong with it, it ensures manufacturers - wholesalers and retailers sell safe products and the consumer is made aware of potential issues before he buys, or has potential issues sorted out quickly and safely.

 

Although this is to us, rather extreme, cos here we just fly by the seat of our pants and everybody runs and hides when there is an issue - the law clearly states the bicycle had to have spoke protector discs - it didnt, and now the rule is been enforced - I am all for it - its called "enforcing the rule of law" - something we can learn a lot about here methinks.!
