The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Huffy Corp, yesterday announced a voluntary recall of about 5,040 2012 Huffy® 20-Inch Slider Tricycles because the handlebar can unexpectedly loosen while in use, causing the rider to lose control. This poses crash and fall hazards for the rider.

Consumers should immediately stop using the tricycle and contact Huffy Huffy toll-free at (888) 366-3828 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.huffybikes.com and click on “Product Recall” on the bottom of the page for instructions on how to obtain a refund.
