Burley Design recalls child bicycle trailers

Trailers with black plastic tow bar receivers can separate from the tow bar when they appear to be connected, posing a crash hazard to the child in the trailer.

Burley Design recalled about about 34,820 child bicycle trailers in the United States and Canada because the trailers with black plastic tow bar receivers can separate from the tow bar when they appear to be connected, posing a crash hazard to the child in the trailer. This recall involves seven models of Burley Design child bicycle trailers manufactured from 2009 to 2015.

The company has received 35 reports of trailers with black plastic tow bar receivers separating from the tow bar, including two incidents that resulted in abrasions to a child.
