Second BOB Stroller Recall Issued

By Kimberly Mirando

 

BOB stroller recall
(LEGAFI) -- The Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada have announced a recall of around 444,000 single and double jogging strollers in the U.S. and Canada manufactured by B.O.B. Trailers. This is the second stroller recall for the company, which recalled 357,000 units in February 2011 due to a strangulation hazard posed by the canopy's drawstring.

The second B.O.B. stroller recall was issued after it was discovered the stroller canopy’s embroidered logo’s backing patch can detach, posing a choking hazard to babies and young children.

B.O.B. received six reports of children mouthing the detached patch. Gagging and choking were reported in two incidents, but the backing was removed from the children's mouth without injury. In each of the reported incidents, the children were seated in an infant car seat attached to the stroller.

The B.O.B. stroller recall involves all B.O.B. strollers manufactured between November 1998 and November 2010. Strollers manufactured after October 2006 have a white label affixed to the back of the stroller's leg with the manufacturing date. Strollers with no manufacturing date listed were produced prior to October 2006 and are included in this recall. The strollers were sold in single seat and double-seat models. The BOB®, Ironman® or Stroller Strides® brand name is embroidered on the canopy of the strollers.

The recalled strollers were sold at REI, Babies R' Us and other children's product and sporting goods stores nationwide and Amazon.com between November 1998 and October 2011 for between $280 and $600.

Consumers are asked to immediately stop using the recalled strollers until they remove the embroidery backing patch from the interior of the canopy's logo. Consumers should contact the company for instructions on removing the backing.

For additional information on the B.O.B. stroller recall, contact B.O.B. Trailers at (855) 242-2245 or visit the firm’s website at www.BobNotices.com.
