The Warehouse is recalling a bicycle which it sold over the Christmas period after it was discovered the vehicle had faulty brakes.
The rear brake of the Milazo Moto Cross Bike 16" B350 has been found to fail when the lever is pulled back by the operator.
The recall notice relates to bicycles sold by The Warehouse Ltd between December 2018 and January 10.
