Risk Description
The brake blocks of the bicycle contain asbestos fibres. Asbestos causes cancer. Moreover, the handlebar is too wide, not resistant enough and can misalign from the fork too easily, leading to a loss of the bicycle's control and increasing the risk of a fall and injuries to the rider. Additionally, the bicycle lacks all required reflectors - including front, rear, side, and pedal reflectors - which are crucial for visibility in low-light conditions. This increases the risk of an accident and injuries for the rider. The product does not comply with the REACH Regulation nor with the European standard EN 8098.
