The CPSC and Health Canada, along with Thule, of Seymour, Connecticut announced a recall of about 12,520 Thule RideAlong rear-mounted Child Bike Seats because the harness padding of Thule RideAlong bike seats can contain flame-retardant DecaBDE over regulatory limits, posing a chemical hazard. DecaBDE can be toxic if it is ingested or comes into contact with skin or eyes. The chemical has been linked to developmental delays in young children, as well as thyroid problems and cancer in adults.
This recall involves the Thule RideAlong rear-mounted Child Bike Seat that fits most bicycle frames. It was sold in gray with a black 3-point harness padding.
The model number and date code can be found on the bottom side of the seat. Only model number 100107 and date codes 21/3-23/10 (March 2021 to October 2023) are included in this recall.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled RideAlong seat and contact Thule Group
