Knog, the Australian cycling accessories brand, has announced a voluntary recall of certain early production runs of its Blinder 900 and Blinder 1300 front bike lights.
The company identified potential battery defects that, in rare cases, may lead to overheating and pose a fire or burn hazard.
“Here at Knog, we pride ourselves on being experts in safety, and customer safety is our absolute top priority. While we understand that a product recall is never ideal, we want to proactively reach out to the market to prevent any additional product failures moving forward,” said Mal McKechnie, Knog’s Chief Operating Officer.
