Bicycle Child Carriers Recalled Due to Fall Hazard


WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in
cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary
recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using
recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.

Name of Product: Schwinn Deluxe Bicycle Child Carriers

Units: About 14,000

Manufacturer: PTI Sports Inc., of Coral Gables, Fla.

Hazard: If the seat is not fully seated on the rack, the plastic guide
tabs on the carrier can break. If these tabs break, it could cause the
seat to fall off. This poses a risk of serious injury to a child
seated in the carrier.

Incidents/Injuries: PTI Sports has received five reports of the
bicycle child carriers falling, including three reports of minor
injuries, such as bumps and scratches.

Description: The carrier is a seat for a child that is attached to the
back of an adult bicycle. The carrier is gray plastic with a blue
rubber back and seat pad, a gray head rest, and black straps. Model
number SW571T is printed on the carrier's packaging and in the owner's
manual. "PTI" is printed on a yellow warning sticker on the back of
the carrier seat.

Sold at: Department stores, discount department stores, and military
exchanges nationwide from September 2004 through November 2005 for
about $50.
