Burley Design has recalled approximately 34,000 child bicycle trailers from seven different models including the Cub, D'Lite, Encore, and Solo series manufactured between 2009 and 2015. The black plastic tow bar receiver on these trailers can fail, causing the trailer to detach from the bicycle while in motion. There have been 35 reports of these trailers separating from tow bars, including two incidents that caused abrasions to a child. Consumers should immediately stop using these trailers and contact Burley for a free safety strap kit and potential replacement parts.
The black plastic tow bar receiver can separate from the tow bar even when it appears to be securely connected. This can cause the trailer to detach unexpectedly during a ride, posing a significant crash hazard to children inside the trailer.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycle trailers and contact Burley for a free safety strap kit with tools and instructions for installation and a coupon for a 20 percent discount on the purchase of any Burley accessory. Consumers should also inspect the black plastic tow bar receiver. If it appears to be cracked or damaged, consumers should also request a free replacement tow bar receiver.
