Joint Recall with B.O.B. Trailers, Health Canada, and the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (US CPSC)
Affected products
B.O.B.® single and double strollers
Product description
This recall involves the following 11 models of B.O.B.® single and double strollers. The name 'B.O.B.' appears 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. Strollers have the serial number either stamped in the frame or on a white label located on the stroller's rear right leg.
Note: Serial numbers are for reference only. The ultimate determination of whether a stroller is affected by this recall is the presence of a yellow / orange drawstring.
