Recall – Britax Strollers
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, BRITAX Child Safety, Inc. announced today that it is conducting a voluntary safety recall on select B-AGILE, B-AGILE Double and BOB MOTION strollers.
The affected B-AGILE, B-AGILE Double and BOB MOTION strollers have a folding hinge located on the right side of the stroller frames that may pose a Partial Fingertip Amputation Hazard if, after depressing the fold release button, the consumer continues to press the button while simultaneously pulling on the fold release strap with the other hand. In that circumstance, the consumer’s finger may become exposed to a gap on the stroller frame above or below the folding hinge cover that opens as the stroller folds.
To address this issue, BRITAX is providing a free remedy kit to all registered owners of the affected strollers. The remedy kit includes four hinge covers designed to cover the stroller frame gap that occurs above and below the folding hinge as the stroller folds, and an instruction sheet for installing the covers. Owners should confirm if their stroller is affected by verifying the model number and Date of Manufacture (DOM) label.
Consumers who have not registered their stroller or need to verify existing registration should visit www.britaxusa.com/registration (USA) or www.britax.ca/registration (Canada). For general questions, consumers should contact BRITAX toll-free at 1-866-204-1665, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. Eastern Time Monday through Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Eastern Time on Fridays or email [email protected].
