Netherlands bans sale of Babboe cargo bikes. A Dutch authority is now reporting dangerous defects that could lead to criminal investigations.
The authorities warned of serious injuries, especially in heavy traffic. It is not clear to what extent the sales ban and recalls also apply to other countries such as Germany. The authority's report speaks of "serious security risks," the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) said in a statement. The company is said to have known about the tips, but neither followed up on them nor forwarded the tips to the authorities.
