A U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission news release said the company has 13 reports of frames breaking, including four minor injuries.

This recall involves model MT220 and model years 2005 (light metallic blue), 2006 (metallic silver and metallic purple or pink and pearl white), and 2007 (pink and white pearl or metallic purple). The model name is printed on the frame of the bicycle.

Model year 2008 bicycles are not included in this recall.

The bikes were sold at authorized Trek dealers nationwide from April 2004 through June 2007 for about $300.

The release said consumers should take the recalled bicycle away from children immediately and return it to a Trek dealer for a free replacement or a $100 discount on a different size Trek bicycle.
