Delta Cycle Corp. Recalls Bike Storage Rack

The Delta Cycle Corp. in cooporation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has begun a voluntary recall of the Delta Picasso Two-Bike Racks. Consumers are instructed to stop using this product immediately unless otherwise instructed. The company believes about 3,500 storage racks are affected.

Delta Cycle Corp., of Foxboro, Massachusetts, explained the bike racks do not have sufficient hardware to support its weight when hung on a wall, possibly causing the storage bike rack to unexpectedly fall. There has been one report of a bike rack falling. No injuries have been reported however. This recall involves Picasso bike racks with a collapsible shelf. The storage bike rack can be mounted on the wall and has slots to support two bicycles. The metal rack has the Delta logo and name printed on the front of the rack. The products were sold at LL Bean, Bike Nashbar and independent bike shops nationwide from January 2002 to the current date for about $40. Manufactured in China and Taiwan, consumers should contact Delta Cycle immediately to receive additional hardware and updated installation instructions.
