Recalled Orangatang Skateboard Wheels Pose Risk Of Injury. Orangatang Skateboard Wheels distributed by Loaded Boards Inc., of Beverly Hills, Calif. have been recalled.  Roughly 1200 sets of skateboard wheels are involved in this recall.

According to the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC), the recalled skateboard wheel’s core can shear and blow-out causing the wheel to separate from the skateboard truck’s axle and bearings. This poses a risk of serious injury to riders.   Loaded Boards has received 10 reports of wheels separating, but no injuries are known to have occurred.

The words “orangatang,” “In Heat,” and the size and durometer are written on the sidewall of the wheel. The wheels were sold in sets of four at authorized Loaded Boards/Orangatang Wheels dealers nationwide from March 2009 through April 2009 for about $55 per set.
