The risk
The product poses a risk of injuries because there have been a number of cases of separation of the tread during use (no case of loss of pressure has been reported). The first sign of this problem is vibration during use and it can lead to the tread being torn away. If the user ignores the vibrations and continues to use the vehicle, this can lead to loss of control or an accident, although no such incident has been reported as yet.
