The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of a bicycle tire inflator, the Zefal EZ+ CO2 Inflator. "The pressurized cartridge containing carbon dioxide (CO2) can forcefully separate from the pump head, posing a risk of injury to the consumer," said the Commission. So, if you have one of these suckers, stop using it.
Yesterday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of Easton's EA30 threadless stems. The company has received at least one report of the stem cracking and failing causing a rider to lose control of his bike, according to the Commission. The stems are described as "black with white-and-gray graphics and feature a four-bolt stem face cap. 'EA30' is printed on the stem." If your bicycle has this stem contact Easton Sports for a free replacement.
