Burley Design Recall Overview:

Burley has recalled over 34,000 bicycle trailers due to a crash hazard. 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.

There have been 35 reports of trailers separating from the tow bar, including two incidents that resulted in abrasions to a child.

The recall involves seven of its models manufactured from 2009 through 2015. Recalled trailers have a black plastic tow bar receiver with an integrated wheel guard. Recalled trailers can be identified by the first four characters of the serial numbers on the trailer. The serial number is on a sticker in the rear cargo area behind the seat of the trailer on the left inside frame bar. The following seven trailer models and serial numbers are being recalled:
