Jogging Strollers Recalled Due to Strangulation Hazard – B.O.B. Trailers

Two weeks ago, I was out shopping with my two daughters.  I had them both strapped into our B.O.B. Revolution double stroller. While I was speaking to a sales associate, my eldest daughter kept saying, “mama, mama, look at me!”  When I turned around, she had pulled a yellow cord that had been dangling above her head down and it had become wrapped around the bottom of her neck.  I immediately pulled the yellow cord taught and secured it with a plastic attachment, and told my daughter not to pull on the string, that it could hurt her.

I didn’t think about it again until the CPSC issued a recall on the B.O.B. Revolution strollers last week – because of the strangulation hazard of the drawstring cord. 337,000 single and double B.O.B. strollers have been recalled in the U.S. alone. The recalled strollers were sold at REI, buy buy Baby and other stores nationwide and on the Web at Babiesrus.com, Target.com and Amazon.com between April 2002 and February 2011 for between $300 and $600.

The CPSC is asking consumers to immediately stop using the recalled strollers and remove the drawstring.  If consumers are using a separately purchased Weather Shield or Sun Shield accessory with the recalled stroller, contact B.O.B. Trailers at (855) 242-2245 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm’s website atwww.bobcanopy.com for a free canopy retrofit kit.

The affected strollers are listed below, by serial number.  You can also visit the CPSC recall notice for more information about this recall.  My family happens to have both the single and double B.O.B. strollers, and both of them have been affected by this recall.
