What Types of Defects Cause Bike Parts to Be Recalled?

Bike parts can be recalled for defects that make them unsafe for consumers to use. Under product liability laws, consumer products, including bike parts, can be defective in any of three different ways:

  • Design defects: An inherent flaw exists in the design of the product that makes it unsafe for use by consumers, even when manufactured properly.
  • Manufacturing defects: The design of the product is not flawed, but it was manufactured incorrectly, making it unsafe for use.
  • Marketing defects: Manufacturers are required to provide adequate instructions and warning labels to protect consumers from hazards associated with the use of the product. Failure to do so is a labeling or marketing defect.

What Forms of Compensation May Be Available for Recalled Bike Part Injuries?

Product liability is based on the principle that consumers have a right to safe and effective products. If a defective, recalled bike part has caused you to crash and sustain injuries, you may have a product liability claim against the manufacturer or any party in the chain of distribution. Damages you may be entitled to claim will depend on the nature and severity of your injuries. Common damages include:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages or earnings
  • Loss of future earning potential
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress

An experienced Long Beach bike recall injury attorney can accurately calculate the full extent of your losses – past, present, and future.
