The company’s comments, in its own words

(2/16/2016) KENT INTERNATIONAL INC: Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this matter prior to publication. Kent International, Inc. has reviewed the information provided regarding the above-referenced incident allegedly involving one of its 20” bicycles.
Kent has been selling 20” bicycles substantially similar to this unit for many years. In reviewing claims made on substantially similar bicycles in the last 2 years, it was determined that over 20,000 bicycles were sold in the US. [REDACTED]’s claim is that the brake handle simply snapped off during normal use of the bicycle. Kent’s records review showed that there were only two (2) claims made which appear to have involved the braking system on these type bicycles, and neither of those claims were a result of a broken brake handle. Rather, each claim was the result of either an inexperienced rider knowing how to use hand brakes or a rider who was over the weight limit for the bicycle.
[REDACTED] did contact Kent International regarding this issue, as stated in her Incident Description. Kent did not send her a replacement handle as she stated, however. Kent refunded [REDACTED] her purchase price for the bicycle as well as sending her a helmet for her grandson, a bicycle pump and additional bicycle accessories. [REDACTED] returned the broken unit to Kent which was received on February 3, 2016.
Kent personnel photographed and fully inspected the unit upon receipt. Although the claimant states the brake handle “snapped off,” the brake handle is, in fact, intact. The bracket holding the braking handle to the handlebars has been broken. Upon inspection, there is heavy wear and tear on the unit in a number of places. The bicycle shows clear signs of being ridden hard, scraped and dropped hard multiple times on hard/abrasive surfaces. Decals (warning labels, etc.) have either been removed or scraped off by the consumer and/or rider. Photos of the damage are available at the CPSC’s request.
Kent would observe that all its products are manufactured to conform to applicable CPSC regulations which include numerous tests involving brake function, capability and integrity. It is Kent’s opinion that the brake bracket was damaged by the impact and the abuse and that these multiple impacts from the bicycle being dropped onto hard surfaces numerous times in the short time that claimant’s grandson owned the unit. The photographs which are available to the CPSC upon request clearly demonstrate the unit was handled abusively and that this occurred multiple times due to the extensive number of impact marks and location of such marks on the unit. Additionally, as stated above, Kent has not had a similar complaint in the thousands of units that have been sold across the United States.
