Chinese tires and bicycle forks recalled in Washington
A couple of product recalls involving Chinese-made tires and bicycle forks affect Washington.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Raleigh bicycle company of Kent are recalling some bikes because the forks can break. Three injuries have been reported. The recall involves 1,200 of the 2007 Raleigh Cadent bicycles with Carbonage carbon forks.
The state attorney general's office says more than 1,600 defective Chinese-made tires were sold in Union Gap and Spokane. The SUV, truck and van tires were sold under the brand names Compass, Westlake and YKS.
The tires were imported and distributed nationwide by New Jersey-based Foreign Tire Sales. They have been recalled because threads may fall apart.
