Bicycle stem raisers, used to raise the handlebars of a bicycle, are being recalled by Delta Cycle because they can shift during use, causing the bicycle’s handlebar to move unexpectantly, posing a fall hazard.
About 500,000 are being recalled in the United States and an additional 8,510 were sold in Canada.
The recall involves Delta Cycle and Dimension stem raisers with the model numbers TD3318B, TD3318S, TD3418B, and TD3418S for the Delta Cycle brand, and SM1977 and SM1979 for the Dimension brand.
The stem raisers, which were sold in black and silver and measure between 5 inches and 7 inches high, were sold at REI and local bicycle stores nationwide and online at Designbydelta.com and Amazon.com from January 1998 through January 2024. The price was about $46.
One report of a stem raiser shifting during use was received by the company with no injuries reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled stem raisers, and contact Delta Cycle to schedule a free repair at an independent bicycle dealer., the company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advise.
