We study the equation dY(t)/dt = f(Y(t), Eh(Y(t))) for random initial conditions, where E denotes the expected value. It turns out that in contrast to the deterministic case local Lipschitz continuity of f and h are not sufficient to ensure uniqueness of the solutions. Finally we also state some sufficient conditions for uniqueness.
