Dah Ken Industrial Co. Ltd., of Taiwan, R.O.C., and RST USA, of Aliso Viejo, Calif., are voluntarily recalling about 3,300 bicycle front suspension forks. These forks can break apart, causing the rider to lose control, resulting in serious injury.
These Hi-5 and Hi-5 MOZO front suspension forks, which are used on mountain bikes', were sold in red, dark gray, purple, yellow, orange and silver colors. These forks have stickers on both fork legs reading, "RST Hi-5" or "RST Hi-5 MOZO." Authorized RST USA bicycle dealers nationwide sold these forks between February 1997 and October 1998 for about $400. These forks also were sold on Haro, GT, Giant and Marin bicycles.
Consumers should stop riding bicycles equipped with these
recalled suspension forks immediately. Any authorized RST USA dealer will
install a free replacement fork at no charge. To locate your nearest dealer
or for more information, consumers should call RST USA at (800) 227-6778
between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. PST Monday through Friday. Dah Ken Industrial
Co. Ltd. manufactured these front suspension forks, and RST USA imported
and distributed them in the United States.
