SRAM LLC Brake Lever Lawsuits
In a recent development concerning bicycle safety, SRAM LLC has announced a voluntary recall of certain shift brake levers due to a potential crash hazard. The recall, issued in conjunction with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), highlights concerns regarding the clamp bolt on the brake lever, which may come loose during use, posing a risk to riders. The affected shift brake levers, comprising various models including SRAM Apex AXS, Rival eTap AXS, Red eTap AXS, and Force eTap AXS, were sold nationwide as upgrade or replacement kits between June 2019 and October 2023.
The CPSC’s recall notice emphasizes the critical role of brake levers in bicycle safety, as riders rely on them to activate the braking system and control the speed of their bicycles. The loosening of the clamp bolt on the brake lever could compromise the functionality of the braking system, potentially leading to a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash or injury to the rider.
As a precautionary measure, consumers are advised to immediately discontinue the use of the recalled SRAM shift brake levers and inspect them for tightness. If the lever is found to be loose or rotating, individuals are urged to contact SRAM for a free brake installation inspection at an authorized retailer. In the event that the clamp bolt assembly requires tightening or replacement, the service will be provided at no cost to the consumer, ensuring the safety and integrity of the affected bicycle components.
Despite the remedial actions undertaken by SRAM, individuals who have suffered injuries or damages as a result of the defective shift brake levers may be entitled to pursue legal recourse through a product liability lawsuit. Victims of bicycle accidents resulting from brake lever malfunction may seek compensation for a range of damages, including medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other related losses.
The process of filing a lawsuit in a product liability case involves several key steps, each of which underscores the importance of legal representation. Initially, victims must consult with a knowledgeable attorney specializing in product liability claims to evaluate the merits of their case and determine the appropriate legal strategy. An experienced attorney can provide invaluable guidance and support throughout the litigation process, advocating for the rights of the injured party and navigating complex legal proceedings on their behalf.
In pursuing a lawsuit, plaintiffs must demonstrate that the defective shift brake levers were the proximate cause of their injuries or damages. This typically involves presenting evidence such as medical records, expert testimony, and documentation of the product defect to establish liability on the part of the manufacturer or distributor. Skilled attorneys will work diligently to build a compelling case and pursue maximum compensation for their clients, holding the responsible parties accountable for the harm caused by their negligence or misconduct.
