Description
The majority of cycling gloves affected by this corrective action will carry a label showing that they were manufactured in Pakistan.

Gloves which carry a label indicating that they were manufactured in a country other than Pakistan are not affected by this recall. The label is located on the inside cuff area of the gloves.
Risk
The product poses a carcinogenic risk because certain gloves contain the aromatic amine benzidine in levels up to 450 mg/kg in the red part of the gloves race red cw7u107334.
