The recalled Eastside Fix Bicycle Forks were manufactured in China and sold at independent bicycle dealers nationwide from March 2010 through May 2010 for about $450.
The CPSC is advising consumers to immediately stop riding bicycles with the recalled front forks and to contact their local Campus Cruisers dealer to schedule a free repair.
