Recalled Bike Part Injuries

One minor defect in a bicycle part can be disastrous. Bicycles are inherently dangerous, and the risk of a product being defective can result in long-lasting and serious consequences. A part is defective if it is not reasonably safe for its intended use.

The intended use of a product includes all uses a reasonable person might make of the product, bearing in mind all characteristics, labels, and warnings. If an injury is caused by a defective bicycle part, then the victim can file a product liability lawsuit against either the manufacturer of the bike, the manufacturer of the defective part, the wholesaler, distributor, or in some cases the retailer.

In recalled bicycle part cases, there are three main causes of accidents. The first is a design defect. This is where the product was manufactured as it was intended, but the design was flawed making it inherently unsafe. The second cause is if there was a manufacturing defect. This is where the design of the product was safe, but the product was not made correctly, making it defective. The third cause of a bicycle defect accident is a failure to warn or instruct. This occurs when the instructions and warnings about how to use the bicycle were inadequate, causing an accident and injury.
