Incident narrative

SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20210817-4197B-2147361063. Severity: Injury, Emergency Department Treatment Received. Product: Trek Marlin 7 (Trek Marlin 7, black, 29"(?)). Incident: I bought the Trek Marlin 7 in October of 2017 for my son as his 16 years old birthday gift. The bike was purchased from Trek's local retailer "The Bike Lane" and has been regularly maintained by them. My son has been using it for daily commute and weekend recreation. On August 15, 2021, when he was riding the bike on a paved trail uphill, the joint on the pedal crank broke suddenly. His calf was slashed and teared open by the broken joint. We had to send him to a nearby ER, and he received 14 stitches.
