Knog<\/a>, the Australian cycling accessories brand, has announced a voluntary recall of certain early production runs of its Blinder 900 and Blinder 1300 <\/a>front bike lights.<\/p>\n

The company identified potential battery defects that, in rare cases, may lead to overheating and pose a fire or burn hazard.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cHere at Knog, we pride ourselves on being experts in safety, and customer safety is our absolute top priority. While we understand that a product recall is never ideal, we want to proactively reach out to the market to prevent any additional product failures moving forward,\u201d said Mal McKechnie, Knog\u2019s Chief Operating Officer.<\/p>\n
