WASHINGTON -- Thousands of Huffy bicycles sold at Wal-Mart stores are being recalled. Huffy says the handlebars on 12,000 Cranbrook bikes could unexpectedly come loose, causing the rider to lose control of the bicycle. No injuries have been reported. The recall involves single-speed Crankbrook bicycles with 26-inch wheels. The bicycles were sold in both men’s (model 56462) and women's (model 56472) style frames. The name Cranbrook is printed on the frame of the bicycle. The recalled bicycles were sold at Wal-Mart stores nationwide from April 2004 through May 2004 for about $80. Consumers should stop using the bicycles and contact Huffy Bicycle for a free replacement handlebar and stem. Call (888) 366-3828 or visit the company's Web site for more recall information
