SAFETY RECALL NOTICE

The serial number is located on the underside of the unit. The Dash FM and Dash RM child bike seat models are not affected by this recall. Burley will replace the affected Dash X FM free of charge to its customers. Customers are directed to stop using their Dash X FM immediately and request a free a replacement child seat.

FAQ:

Why is Burley conducting a recall?

  • Burley has received a report from its supplier that the Dash X FM child bike seat may have a potential failure mode in its reclining plate. This creates a risk that when an excessive load is applied or during extreme and incorrect use (for example, without the attachment of the secondary safety strap installed per manufacturer’s instructions) parts of the reclining plate may detach from one another and cause instability of the child seat. If this failure mode were to occur, the child seat would remain attached to the bicycle, however the instability of the seat would cause a risk of injury to the rider or child.
  • Our child bike seats comply with all applicable safety standards, but Burley chose to conduct a voluntary recall because we felt it was the right thing to do, and we are working with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission to publicize and carry out this program. Our products carry children. Parents all over the world trust us with their most precious cargo, and we are committed to doing everything in our power to keep their children safe.
