Default Recalled Orangatang Wheels

Hey Boarders,

I just found out that I am ridin on wheels that were recently recalled by loaded. I just wanted to spread the word.

Taken from Consumer Product Safety Commission:
Description:The recall involves Orangatang "In-Heat" skateboard wheels. They were sold in two styles: 75mm/purple/83a durometer and 75mm/orange/80a durometer. The words "orangatang," "In Heat," and the size and durometer are written on the sidewall of the wheel. The wheels were sold in sets of four.
I was ridin the purps. So if you got these wheels send 'em back. They already have cases of
The recalled skateboard wheel's core can shear and blow-out causing the wheel to separate from the skateboard truck's axle and bearings. This poses a risk of serious injury to riders.
Has anyone heard of a personal blowout story? What happened?

Check out more info here.

If I remember correctly didn't the recall happen a few months ago? And it only applied to wheel's purchased between 3/14/09 and 4/29/09?

Yeah, but I live in Omaha, not a lot of boarders and merch sits for a long time. I have been told that a if you have the wheels mentioned size/durometer and they have white cores. You should check them out.

Ya i had a blow-out on my orange in-heats. I was predrifting into a corner at maybe 30 and the back right wheel came off the bearings and the axle. Somehow i managed not to fall (the bearing was ground up pretty bad). Pretty good customer support though. I emailed them at coreissue@loadedboards.com. I got an email back from Dan Briggs like a day later, sent him some picks and had my new wheels in three more days.

The new otangs in heat that are coming on new boards are totally fine. It is just a specific batch that was bad.

Also maybe check out earthwing wheels, pretty sweet.

Check to see if they have white cores, if they do you may still be able to jump on the bandwagon and get some free ones

You need to call the company where you got the board. You should know what day it was sold and they should have records of what they sent you. If they sent you wheels that need to be recalled, talk to them.
