Retrospec Beaumont Bike Brake Failure Lawsuit Lawyers

Misaligned Disc Brakes on Beaumont Plus ST Bikes Pose Crash and Injury Risks

In a recent safety alert, Retrospec has announced the recall of their Beaumont Plus ST City Bike Step-Thru frame bicycles with disc brakes. This recall, issued on June 13, 2024, involves approximately 530 units and has been initiated due to potential crash and injury hazards. The front disc brake rotor and brake pads on these bicycles can be misaligned, which may cause brake failure, posing significant risks to riders.

Details of the Recalled Product

The recall affects Beaumont Plus ST bikes sold in bluebell (blue), eggshell (white), and mint (green) colors. The bicycles feature “Retrospec” printed on the frame and the firm’s “R” logo on the front fork. A silver label near the pedals indicates “Retrospec, Made in Tianjin, China, and batch: 12-15-2023”. These bikes were sold at bicycle stores nationwide from February 2024 through March 2024, with a retail price of around $400.

The Hazard

The primary issue with the recalled Beaumont Plus ST bikes is the misalignment of the front disc brake rotor and brake pads. This defect can result in brake failure, significantly increasing the risk of crashes and injuries. Fortunately, no incidents or injuries have been reported thus far. However, the potential danger is substantial enough to warrant an immediate recall and corrective measures.

Immediate Action Required

Consumers who own the affected Beaumont Plus ST bicycles are urged to stop using them immediately. To remedy the issue, Retrospec has provided a clear course of action. Owners should take their bicycles to the authorized dealer where they were purchased or visit https://retrospec.com/pages/dealer-locator/ to find a dealer. Retrospec will provide a free installation of a new front fork to correct the brake misalignment.

Understanding the Impact and Legal Rights

Injury and Harm from Defective Products

Defective products like the recalled Beaumont Plus ST bikes pose significant risks to consumers. Brake failure can lead to severe accidents, resulting in injuries such as fractures, head trauma, and other serious physical harm. Victims of such accidents may face extensive medical treatment, rehabilitation, and even long-term disability.

Filing a Lawsuit for Damages

Victims injured by defective products have the right to seek compensation through a product liability lawsuit. This legal process involves proving that the product was defective and that the defect directly caused the injury. In the case of the Beaumont Plus ST bikes, demonstrating the misalignment of the brake system and its role in the accident is crucial.

The Legal Process and the Need for an Attorney

Filing a product liability lawsuit involves several steps, including gathering evidence, filing the claim, negotiating with the manufacturer or insurer, and potentially going to trial. An experienced attorney is essential at every stage of this process. They can help collect necessary evidence, such as expert testimony on the product defect, medical records, and accident reports. Moreover, an attorney can navigate the complex legal landscape, ensuring that the victim’s rights are protected and that they receive fair compensation.

Potential Damages Recoverable

Victims of defective product injuries may be entitled to various types of damages. These can include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and compensation for any long-term disability or disfigurement. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the manufacturer for egregious negligence.

I am a 9/11 survivor and it was my good fortune to work with paralegal Benita Rollis. She thoroughly explained the process and helped me to complete all the paperwork. I distinctly remember the day she called to check on me and to encourage me to schedule a medical appointment with WTC health program. I was reluctant to proceed but Benita gave me a much needed pep talk. Thank you Benita! All of Benita’s hard work has made the difference and this has been concluded very favorably.

My name is Shantasia and I was recommended to PWL back in may of 2020 an let me tell you this, my experience with PWL was great! Not only did they take good care of my daughter and I but they didn’t give up until we gotten what we deserved. I’d settled a year later and it was definitely worth it. Had also recommended two people to work with them on their cases during the time of my case and I hope everything works out in their favors. In my time working with them I’d spoke with a couple of people there but Josephine was my favorite she really did her thing for us and made us a priority and I really loved that! If you’re looking to get justice for any accidents I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you call Parker Waichman Law. Promise you won’t be disappointed! :)
