CPSC, Performance Inc. Announce Recall of Bicycle Handlebar Attachments

The recalled Performance Forte Pro Stix Bar Ends are three to four inches in length and attach to the ends of the handlebar. The bar ends are primarily used during hill climbing when mountain biking, as they give a rider added leverage when he/she is off the seat and pedaling up a steep incline. The bar ends were manufactured in Taiwan.

Required Consumer Action

Consumers should stop using the bar ends immediately and return them for a replacement or refund. Consumers can return the bar ends to the nearest Performance Store or by mailing them to Performance Inc., Attn: Returns Dept., One Performance Way, Chapel Hill, NC 27514.
