What’s the Problem?
On November 6, 2025, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall of approximately 7,500 units of the Lezyne “Pressure Over Drive” and “Digital Pressure Over Drive” bicycle floor pumps because the pump’s canister can forcefully eject from its base when pressurized, posing a serious risk of injury to users or bystanders. [1]
Sales records show the recalled pumps were distributed from May 2016 through December 2021 in the United States and Canada, with models identifiable by a bleed-valve located on the front of the pump’s base. [2]
Although only one injury has officially been reported in the U.S.—involving facial trauma from the canister detachment—industry publications emphasize that any pressurized component ejection can lead to serious or even life-altering harm. [3]
Latest Updates
- November 6, 2025 – CPSC issues official recall notice for Lezyne bike floor pumps citing canister ejection hazard. [1]
- November 9, 2025 – News outlets report a case of the canister exploding and causing serious facial injury, highlighting the real-world consequences of the defect. [2]
- November 10, 2025 – Cycling-industry publication confirms that distributed units include both analogue and digital gauge models manufactured 2016–2021 and that affected consumers are eligible for a free replacement pump. [3]
Product & Usage Overview
The recall impacts two specific Lezyne floor pump products: the “Pressure Over Drive” analog model and the “Digital Pressure Over Drive” model. [4]
An important identifying feature is a visible bleed-valve on the front of the pump’s base, which differentiates the recalled units from later safe versions produced after 2021. [4]
Retail pricing when distributed ranged between \$150 – \$180. In addition to use at home, these pumps were often used in bicycle shops or by professional mechanics, increasing the number of potential exposed users.
Injuries & Side Effects
- Impact-injury risk: The main hazard is a pressurized canister detaching at high velocity and striking the user’s face, eyes, or upper body.
- Documented injury: One official report describes facial trauma in a U.S. user after the pump failed. [2]
- Potential for serious harm: While only one incident has been publicly reported, the mechanism of defect indicates risk of broken bones, eye injury, concussion, or other severe outcomes.
Do You Qualify for a Lezyne Bike Floor Pump Recall Lawsuit?
You may be eligible to consult about legal recourse if you meet the following conditions:
- You purchased or used a Lezyne Pressure Over Drive or Digital Pressure Over Drive pump between 2016 and 2021. [1]
- You suffered an injury caused by the pump’s defect – or were exposed to a near-miss incident – with medical documentation of harm.
- You retain proof of purchase, model/serial number or a photo of the affected pump showing the bleed-valve configuration.
- You haven’t exceeded the statute of limitations in your state (typically one to three years from incident). Early consultation is advisable.
Evidence You Should Gather
- Original receipt or order confirmation showing date, model, and seller.
- Photographic evidence of the pump’s serial/model and identifying bleed-valve location.
- Medical records outlining diagnosis, treatment, and recovery tied to the incident.
- Any manufacturer correspondence, recall check-in confirmation, or registration form from Lezyne. [4]
Damages You Can Recover
- Medical costs: doctor visits, emergency care, dental work, therapy, hospital stays.
- Lost wages: income lost while recovering or caring for the injured party.
- Pain and suffering: physical harm, emotional distress, diminished quality of life.
- Product costs: value of the pump or any related expenses incurred for safe disposal or replacement.
Legal Theories & Liability Grounds
- Strict product liability – The pump entered the market with a dangerous defect that made it unreasonably unsafe for intended use.
- Negligence – Lezyne may have failed in design, testing, or manufacturing oversight, allowing a pressurized canister to eject. [3]
- Failure to warn – Users were not sufficiently warned of the risk of canister detachment during normal operation.
- Breach of warranty – The product promised safe inflation of bicycle tires but instead posed undue harm when used in a typical setting.
Statute of Limitations & Timing
Each state sets its own timeframe to file a claim. Generally, the statute of limitations ranges from one to three years from the date of injury or discovery of the defect. This recall was announced in late 2025, so initiating contact with legal counsel promptly helps preserve evidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Is there already a class-action? At this time no publicly filed class-action lawsuit has been confirmed for the Lezyne pump defect.
- What should I do if I own one of the pumps? Stop using it immediately, register for the replacement plan at Lezyne’s recall site and disable the unit by drilling a hole into the canister as instructed. [4]
- Can I still file even if my pump hasn’t failed but is recalled? While claims typically require actual injury or damage, owning a recalled unit and experiencing a dangerous defect may still be worth discussing with counsel.
Why You Should Act Now
The Lezyne recall highlights a significant hazard: high-pressure components ejecting at velocity can cause serious harm in consumer equipment marketed as safe. If you or a loved one experienced an injury related to one of these pumps—or if you purchased one and were exposed—consulting with experienced legal counsel now helps ensure your rights are protected and your evidence preserved.
