The U.S. Product Safety Commission and 3T have announced the recall of Ventus Ltd™ and Ventus Team™ Bicycle Aerobars. There have been complaints that the rubber grips at the ends of the bars can slip off, causing a fall hazard. According to the Commission's recall notice, "Two incidents were reported to 3T involving adults with minor abrasions." Meh. Doesn't sound too scary, but if you spend $1,200 on a set of handlebars I suppose that sort of thing ought not happen. If you have these bars on your bike contact 3T for a fix kit.
