Dog Leash recall & warning!

[Dee4j]

I subscribe to the Consumer reports Monthly recall & Safety alert. This came today. I don't have a dog so I have no opinion but thought this sounded important enough to share

Retractable leashes pose problems for people and their pets
The CPSC has announced only one recall of retractable leashes in recent years. Last September 223,000

Thanks Dee for this info it's always good to know these things.  I use one of these leashes for Pickles not that brand and at only 8 pounds I think we can handle her......I  always use the lock when walking her in crowded places but I sure can see that getting a robe burn could happen.  Maybe I'll give this a better look seeeeeeeee.

Most avid cyclists have known for a long time that those things are dangerous to dog, owner and cyclist.

I don't know much about them but seemed important enough to pass along knowing it came from a repratable source
