What happened

The recalled trailers have a steel frame with an adjustable seat, two pedals with straps, a 20-inch wheel, pannier pockets, and a flagpole, with red nylon seat and pockets bearing the Weehoo logo in reflective material. The serial numbers of affected trailers contain the letter "D" and are located on the underside of the frame by the pedals.
