RECALL: Novara Afterburner Trailer Bicycles

September 24, 2007
SGB Update

REI is recalling approximately 5,200 Novara Afterburner Trailer
Bicycles, because the trailer bicycle can detach from the adult
bicycle, posing a fall hazard to children. REI has received one report
of a children’s trailer bicycle detaching from the adult bicycle. No
injuries have been reported. The single-wheel children’s bicycle
attaches to, and cannot be operated independently of, an adult bicycle.
The item was sold at REI stores nationwide from February 2007 through
June 2007 for about $160. REI said consumers should immediately stop
using the bicycle trailer, visit the nearest REI store or contact REI
for a free replacement part, a full refund or credit.
