Washington, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Look Cycle USA of San Jose, Calif, announced a voluntary recall of the Keo Pedals, including the Classic, Sprint, HM and Carbon. “Ti” pedals are not included in this recall.

Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. The steel axle inside the pedal can break, posing a fall hazard to cyclists.

The model name is printed in white on the side of the pedal. Date codes between January 2004 and December 2005 are included in this recall. The date code for the KéO Classic, Sprint and Carbon pedals is on a dial stamped onto the pedal. The date code for the KéO HM is on the bottom of the pedal, with the letters A through L corresponding to the month, and the numbers 4 and 5 indicating 2004 or 2005.
