IN LESS THAN 24HRS AS HE WAS RIDING HIS BIKE ON CAMPUS AS HE TURNED A CORNER THE BIKE’S REAR WHEEL BENT, CAUSING HIM TO FALL OFF AND HURT HIS ANKLE, ARM AND BACK; THANKFULLY NOT SERIOUSLY; AND THANKFULLY NOT ON THE MAIN ROAD AS HE COULD HAVE GOTTEN KILLED. THE BIKE SHOULD HAVE A WEIGHT LIMIT ON IT AS IT DOES FOR THE HEIGHT REQUIREMENT. MY SON IS ABOUT 215 LBS AND 5’11 AND BOUGHT THIS BIKE TO HELP LOSE SOME WEIGHT BUT COULD HAVE COST HIM HIS LIFE. WALMART HAS REFUSED TO REFUND HIM HIS MONEY ON THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS BIKE.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(4/14/2021) 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 bicycles.
We contacted the reporting individual, [REDACTED], regarding her report and the issue and to request that Kent be allowed to retrieve the bicycle and have an inspection performed. We also requested additional information such as any injuries to her 20-year-old son. An email was sent to [REDACTED] on or about April 7, 2021. [REDACTED] responded quickly to advise us that the bicycle was retained by the local Walmart store and provided us with the contact information for the store.
Kent has contacted the retail store to retrieve the bicycle involved in this report. Walmart may have located the bike; however, they are still waiting for a response from the store manager. It is Kent’s intent to have the bicycle sent to an outside independent engineer for a full and complete inspection of the bicycle involved in the incident report. A Kent representative is planning to attempt contact again on April 14, 2021. In the absence of a response in the next few days, we will submit a written request to the store manager to recover the bicycle and have it examined as discussed above.
Kent has reviewed their claim files (both warranty and accident claims), and was unable to locate any additional instances of a possible failure with the same or similar description as noted in the Incident Notification from [REDACTED]. This particular model bicycle was tested by SGS Laboratories in November 2019 and again in January 2021. The laboratory tested the bicycle not only to CPSC standards, but also to Walmart standards, which are above and beyond the CPSC regulations. The bicycles passed testing both years. Copies of both test reports are available by request of the CPSC.
Without additional information from the claimant, we are unable to determine exactly how the alleged failure might have occurred. Kent plans to continue to investigate the matter and work with the claimant as needed. As the CPSC is aware from its own research, there can be many causes for a structural failure on a bicycle, including manufacturing defect, product abuse, product misuse, negligent storage and handling, striking road hazards such as curbs and sewer gratings, and others. Kent will supplement its response based on information learned and upon completion of its investigation.
Thank you for allowing Kent the opportunity to comment on this consumer submission.
