United States
PNW Components Loam Pedal Gen 2 aluminum alloy platform (non-clip) mountain bike pedals are affected; they can be identified by a “Tectonic” logo laser etched onto the pedal body on the left corner, on the same side as the threaded axle, and were sold in black, silver, green, orange and purple. They were recalled because the pedal axle can crack and detach from the crank, posing a fall hazard; consumers should stop using them immediately and contact PNW Components to receive free replacement axles and a free Range Pedal in the interim.
