Lezyne Conducts Voluntary Safety Recall for Pressure Over Drive Floor Pumps

"Lezyne has initiated a voluntary recall of their early-model Pressure Over Drive tubeless-seating floor pumps. The pumps in question were manufactured between February 2016 and December 2021, and Lezyne is recalling them due to safety concerns regarding potential canister ejection under pressure. The recall affects both standard and digital versions of the Pressure Over Drive series, where the aluminum canister can forcefully separate from the base during use which could cause serious injury to users and bystanders. Affected units can be identified by the presence of a bleed port on the front of the pump's base."

"The recall process requires users to immediately discontiue use of the affected pumps and follow a three-step procedure to field-destroy their pumps. Users must first confirm their pump matches the recalled specifications, then mus field-destroy the affected pump, and then complete an online recall form while providing photographic evidence of the disabled unit. The disabling process involves drilling, cutting, or grinding a hole into the aluminum canister after ensuring that the tank has been completely drained of air. For those lacking appropriate tools, Lezyne recommends seeking assistance from your local bicycle shop to safely complete the destruction process."

"Eligible users will receive free replacement pumps without requiring proof of purchase, though Lezyne requests users to properly dispose of the destroyed pumps according to local regulations for steel and aluminum products. Digital versions contain coin cell batteries requiring separate hazardous waste disposal. The recall is in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, with Lezyne providing support through their dedicated recall page or through [e-mail]."

Lezyne is recalling early-model Pressure Over Drive tubeless-seating floor pumps manufactured between February 2016 and December 2021 due to risk of the aluminum canister ejecting from the base under pressure. Both standard and digital versions are affected; recalled units feature a bleed port on the pump base. Users must stop using affected pumps and follow a three-step field-destruction process: confirm the model, safely disable the tank by drilling, cutting, or grinding a hole after fully draining air, and submit an online recall form with photos. Free replacement pumps are provided without proof of purchase, and proper disposal and battery waste handling are required; local bike shops can assist with disabling if needed.
