In February of 2011, B.O.B® Trailers Inc. recalled 357,000 infant strollers due to a strangulation hazard presented by the accessible drawstring on the stroller’s shade canopy.
Last week, B.O.B® Trailers Inc., CPSC and Health Canada recently joined forces again to recall almost 438,700 single and double jogging strollers after it was discovered that the backing patch of the embroidered logo on the strollers shade canopies could be pulled off, creating a potential choking hazard for children under 3 years of age. It appears that this backing patch becomes much more easily accessible when an infant car seat unit is in place on the stroller, lifting the youngster within reach of this backing.
The recall involves strollers with the BOB®, Ironman®, and Stroller Strides® embroidered logos.
