Burley bike trailer recall
If you are toting your tyke around on a recently-purchased Burley bike trailer, be aware that a design defect on certain models might cause the wheels to fall off! From the article.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday that the recall covered about 2,700 trailers made by Burley Design LLC of Eugene, Ore.
The recall covers 2009 d’lite ST and Solo ST two-wheeled child trailers with serial numbers starting with D939 or D948. The serial number is located behind the seat on the lower left rear frame tube. The products say “d’lite ST” or “solo ST” on the cover.
The commission said a sleeve inside the axle assembly can loosen, causing one wheel to come off the trailer, risking injury to the child or bike rider.
The commission said there have been no reports of incidents or injuries.
