I'm not sure whether these have made it to the UK (French notification), but on the off-chance you have one, take it back.

Product: Handlebar for mountain bike
Brand: Nitto
Type/number of model: B259AA
Description: Aluminium handlebar in various colours: red, blue, black, gold, green, pink and silver.
Country of origin: Japan

The handlebar can break leading to an accident and injury.Two accidents reported.

All bars can break. Two incidents without details of how it happened. Maybe these are XC bars and some folk tried a 20ft dropoff with them.

Is this a notification/recall by Nitto themselves or something else.

It's a notification by the French authority for consumer safety.

Two accidents have been reported and this type/model have been found not to meet the standard in some way.

There is a voluntary withdrawl by the manufacturer.
