-- Kids Today, 8/20/2009 7:58:00 AM
WASHINGTON – Burley Design of Eugene, Ore. has recalled its child bicycle trailers because a wheel can come off, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
About 2,700 units of the 2009 d’lite ST and Solo ST Child Trailers were recalled. They were sold by independent bicycle retailers and specialty outdoor retailers nationwide and on various web sites from November 2008 through June 2009 for between $550 and $600.
The assembly’s internal sleeve can loosen, causing one wheel to separate from the trailer, posing a risk of injury to the child occupant or bike rider. The company has not received any reports of incidents nor injuries.
The recalled products are two-wheeled child trailers designed to carry one or two children behind a bicycle.
Only the 2009 d’lite ST and 2009 Solo ST trailers with serial numbers that begin with D939 or D948 are included in the recall. The serial number is located in the rear cargo area behind the seat on the lower left rear frame tube. The trailers have “d’lite ST” or “solo ST” screen printed on the cover. They were manufactured in the Philippines.
Consumers should stop using the trailer immediately and contact Burley at 800-311-5294 or www.burley.com/STProductRecall, to receive a free repair kit or to locate a retailer to assist with the free repair.
