Conti Sport Attack - anyone using these?!

[Slipperyeel]

I'm back into the office and getting to grips with reality .

Just seen this whilst catching up on various points. It's from August's RAPEX posting... http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/safet...yOverview&web_report_id=1010&selectedTabIdx=1

The amazing thing is the recall goes back to 2007...but i'm only seeing it in August 2014 bulletin!

Thought it might make interesting reading for some.
