BOB Stroller Recall

I am a proud BOB Stroller owner and received the following message about a current recall. It's a very simple one to fix, so  read on and "let's play safe for you and me 'cause I'm no fool."

-------

B.O.B. Trailers, Inc., in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily recalling all B.O.B., Ironman and Stroller Strides jogging strollers. 

The recall involves all B.O.B., Ironman and Stroller Strides jogging 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 products are being recalled as the stroller canopy's embroidered logo's backing patch can detach, posing a choking hazard to babies and young children.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers until they remove the embroidery backing patch from the interior of the canopy's logo. Consumers should contact B.O.B. Trailers for instructions on removing the backing. For additional information, contact B.O.B. Trailers toll-free at (855) 242-2245 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. MTMonday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.bobnotices.com

You may also find additional details about the recall in the CPSC bulletin at:http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml12/12006.html.

If you purchased this item as a gift for someone, please notify the recipient immediately and provide them with the information in the CPSC bulletin concerning these safety issues.
