WOOM Recalls 84k bikes...

it seems the WOOM models 1,1+,2,3,4,5, and 6 have had Handlebars come loose and/or Detach from the bikes... a Free Repair kit is offered and they Urge anyone with a WOOM bike to have it inspected. The bikes were sold on woom.com, Amazon.com and local bike stores nationwide starting September 2018 through to March 2022., mostly in the USA, and 533 in Canada.
The six models span rider ages 18 months to 14 years old, so they aren't all push bikes, eh?

A "one bolt stem clamp" is mentioned.....

Their stem check is just looking at 1 bolt on the stem at the steerer vs 2. The used Woom 2 i picked up for my son has one bolt so I got "may be affected" and ordered the stem maintenance kit.

Their site says only 1 stem maintenance kit per person, but can be used for up to 3 bikes.
