Bicycle bell recall
March 18, 20105 Comments on Bicycle bell recall
Do you own this bike bell? It may be subject to a recall.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission and Do It Best Corporation of Fort Wayne, IN are recalling this bike bell because of excessive lead in the red paint. The bells are manufactured by the Botou Baite Bike Bell Co. Ltd., of Botou City, China. (A factory that just makes bike bells?) Return the bell to the store (either Dollar General or Do It Best Hardware) for a refund.
