WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Consumer Product Safety Commission is recalling about 40,000 pairs of bicycle pedals because they can break and cause the rider to fall.

The steel axle inside Look Cycle KéO Bicycle Pedals can break, posing a fall hazard to cyclists.

Look Cycle has received 14 reports of incidents with broken pedals, including 7 injuries which resulted in scrapes, cuts, contusions, elbow pain, and a knee injury.

The pedals were sold at specialty bicycle retailers nationwide from January 2004 through July 2007 for between $100 and $500.
