Manufacturers must ensure that their product is safe for the customers who purchase it. This is especially true when the item is used for sports and recreational activities. Participation in a recreational sporting activity always involves some degree of risk (falling off a bike, getting tackled in a football game, etc.), therefore the products used during such activities need to be especially safe so as to reduce the risk of any other unnecessary injuries. The risk of serious injury from a fall is a common reason why many items such as bicycles and climbing equipment are often recalled.
