Jogging Strollers Recalled Due to Strangulation Hazard

B.O.B. Trailers is recalling 11 models of single and double jogging strollers because a drawstring on the stroller can get wrapped around a child’s neck, posing a strangulation hazard.  About 337,000 strollers in the United States and 20,000 in Canada are affected by the recall.

B.O.B. has received one report of an 11-month-old girl who got entangled at the neck by the stroller’s drawstring.

The name “B.O.B” is located on the cargo basket under the stroller and on the front of the stroller.  All of the recalled strollers have a yellow/orange drawstring at the rear of the canopy which is used to gather loose fabric when the canopy is pulled back.

The strollers were sold between April 2002 and February 2011 at REI, buy buy Baby and other stores nationwide as well as on the Web at Babiesrus.com, Target.com and Amazon.com.  They cost between $300 and $600.  Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately.
