[leadin]If you have a Burley Design child bike trailer, take a moment to inspect it.[/leadin]
Burley Designs has issued a recall affecting seven models of the popular child carries made between 2009 and 2015. The trailers, which allow cyclists to tow children behind their bikes while riding, are connected by a tow bar that attaches to the rear axle of the bicycle on one end and a tow bar receiver on the trailer end.
In 35 reported instances, trailers with black plastic tow bar receivers separated from the tow bar, including two incidents that resulted in abrasions to a child.
