Lookペダルがリコール？

• Bicycle Pedals Recalled by Look Cycle; Pedals Can Break Causing Cyclists to Fall

アメリカ情報なので日本版は確定じゃないがLookのペダルにリコールがかかってるっぽい。

Hazard: The steel axle inside the pedal can break, posing a fall hazard to cyclists.

Incidents/Injuries: Look Cycle has received 14 reports of incidents with broken pedals, including 7 injuries which resulted in scrapes, cuts, contusions, elbow pain, and a knee injury.

Description: The recalled bicycle pedals were sold separately from bicycles. Pedal models include KéO Classic, KéO Sprint, KéO HM and KéO Carbon. The model name is printed in white on the side of the pedal. Date codes between January 2004 and December 2005 are included in this recall. The date code for the KéO Classic, Sprint and Carbon pedals is on a dial stamped onto the pedal. The date code for the KéO HM is on the bottom of the pedal, with the letters A through L corresponding to the month, and the numbers 4 and 5 indicating 2004 or 2005. “Ti” pedals are not included in this recall.

ペダル内のアスクルが壊れてしまうそうで、既に14件レポートが上がっており、7人はケガをおったとのこと。モデルがKeoSprintからCarbonモデルまで結構幅広いのでLookユーザーは要確認。自分が購入したのはセーフかな？いずれにせよ日本の製品も同じだったらリコール情報が各店舗にも来るでしょう。
