What happened

Nashbar Direct is recalling certain Lil' Shadow bicycle trailers due to a safety hazard. These black single-wheel trailers, which attach to adult bicycles and allow a child to ride along and help pedal, can become unstable when riders change directions because their hitch mechanisms were assembled incorrectly. This instability creates a risk of injury to riders. The recall affects trailers with serial numbers PC4F001 through PC4F300, with the serial number located at the bottom bracket of each unit.

Consumers who own an affected bicycle trailer should stop using it immediately and contact Nashbar Direct for return instructions. Nashbar will provide a full refund and a $20 gift certificate toward a future purchase.
