Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

In the interest of fairness an perspective this sounds much worse than it is.

First of all, the problem only occurs if the bike is ridden with the QR in the open position, and any bike with the QR closed properly has no problem.

Secondly, while they are recalling "bikes" the reality is that they're only recalling the QR skewers. Those who are concerned can exchange the skewers or protect themselves by properly closing the QR (duh!!!), and/or reversing the skewer so the lever is on the "no brake" side.
