What to do about Product safety

Triumph Motorcycles — The notice above names the hazard. CPSC recalls are issued because someone can be hurt, not because the product underperforms.

  1. Stop using the product and move it somewhere a child or pet cannot reach it.
  2. Check the model number and date code against the identifiers on this page, and photograph them.
  3. Do not resell, donate or pass it on — reselling a recalled product is illegal in the United States.
  4. Follow the remedy the notice specifies, and register the claim before you destroy anything.

Claiming your refund, repair or replacement

The recalling company decides the remedy and funds it. You should never pay for a recall repair or for return shipping.

  • Use the company contact on this page first. Most firms run a dedicated recall page with a claim form that is far quicker than their main support line.
  • If the company stops responding, escalate to the CPSC. Firms under a recall order have reporting duties to the agency.
  • Have the model number, the date code and your photos ready. Many companies issue store credit by default — ask for cash or a card reversal if you would rather have it.
  • No receipt? Say so. Recall refunds are routinely paid without proof of purchase, because the hazard is what triggers the obligation.
