L.L.Bean is recalling about 2,200 Deluxe Packaway Boat Carts designed for transporting canoes and kayaks. The cart's plastic wheel rims can suddenly burst if the rubber tires are over-inflated, which can send pieces of the plastic rim flying toward users. There have been two reports of rims bursting, including one instance where a consumer suffered bruises from being struck by broken pieces. These carts feature a white and blue aluminum frame, weigh approximately seven pounds, and have two black nylon straps marked with the L.L.Bean logo.
When the rubber tires are over-inflated, the internal pressure can cause the plastic wheel rims to fail and burst. This creates a hazard where sharp pieces of plastic can be propelled at high speeds, potentially causing impact injuries or bruises to anyone nearby.
Consumers should call L.L.Bean or go to the firm's website for new instructions and psi stickers to put on the wheels of the cart. Do not add air to the tires until reviewing the new instructions on the maximum inflation level or psi.
