Retraction: Light & Motion Not Recalling Bike Light Batteries
OCTOBER 20, 2006 -- MONTEREY, CA (BRAIN)?Reports that Light & Motion is recalling 1,700 ARC lithium ion bike light batteries are erroneous, said a representative of the company.
On Wednesday, Bicycle Retailer and Industry News published on its Web site news that Light & Motion, in cooperation with the CPSC, was issuing a recall for 2004 ARC lithium ion HID lighting systems due to a fire risk.
The error occurred because the CPSC inadvertently re-announced a recall from two years ago.
We regret the error and any confusion it may have caused. |
