'93' Cadex ALM1 Fork Recall

Ancient stuff here! I've had the Giant Cadex MTB sitting for years. SunTour drivetrain. It came with the so-called butterfly shifters that never worked right. Recently got a set of Sun Tour rapid fire style shifters and installed them. Better. Did a Google on that bike and up pops a CPSC fork recall. The crown has a nasty habit of separating from the legs. Injuries, broken bones reported. Ouch ! Contacted Giant. Not much help there. I'd like to replace the fork. It's my understanding the fork is elastomer dampened and appears to be short stroke.The bike would be used for city with a rare smooth gravel jaunt. No plans for single track gonzo stuff. My question is: are there still forks made that are that design? 1 1/8" headless steerer.
