The CPSC and Burley have recalled Ballz QR Skewers.  This rod connects the Coho XC Cargo trailer to a bicycle, and it may bend or shear.  Should this occur, the trailer and the bicycle towing it will become unstable, the rider may fall and sustain an injury, and the bicycle-trailer ensemble may injure a bystander.  About 2,935 of these skewers were sold at REI stores and bicycle retailers nationwide as well as online at rei.com, burley.com, and amazon.com.  If you have one of these skewers, stop using it, contact Burley at 1-800-311-5294  or via email at [email protected] to receive a replacement connecting rod.
