It has been brought to our attention that a younger sibling of a child owner of one of our bicycles has put his hand into moving parts whilst his older sibling was learning to ride, resulting in an injury.

Parents and carers are reminded that bicycles are not toys. Siblings and other children, as well as the rider, should be supervised whilst a child is learning to ride and riding is taking place. This warning particularly applies to the supervision of children, who are not sitting on or riding a bicycle, and who should be kept a safe distance from the rider and bicycle.

I take from this that some kid has stuck their hand in a moving wheel or the chain/ring and hurt themselves and parent is now looking for a way to fund their next holiday.. Am I being rather cynical?

Hmm, yeah, why would you tell the manufacturer of a bike that your child has been an idiot/had an accident? Weird that.

@thegeneralist: Don't stick your hand in the wheel. Them Islabikes can be dangerous.
