The steer tube on the bikes may break and this could lead to the bicyclist falling and getting injured. To date, there have been 7 reported instances that resulted in minor injuries.

Any company that manufacturers a product that is "unreasonably dangerous when put to a foreseeable use" may be strictly liable under Illinois law for any injuries that stem from the use of the defective product.
