The recall specifically affects Lezyne bicycle floor pumps featuring a bleed valve located on the front of the base. The affected models, identified as the Pressure Over Drive (with an analog gauge) and the Digital Pressure Over Drive (with a digital gauge), are described as black tubeless floor pumps constructed from steel and aluminum, with a natural wood-colored handle and a nylon-reinforced braided hose. The Lezyne logo is printed on the side of the pump. These pumps were sold nationwide at various bicycle stores, as well as online through retailers such as Jensonusa.com and Backcountry.com, between May 2016 and December 2021. The retail price ranged from $150 to $180.
