BOB Stroller Recall

[dizneechic]

Since so many on here have mentioned using BOB strollers I thought it prudent to note the recall just issued.

http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml11/11143.html

Hazard: A drawstring on the stroller can get wrapped around a child's neck, posing a strangulation hazard.

Description: This recall involves the following 11 models (see link) of B.O.B.® single and double strollers. 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.

Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers and remove the drawstring. If using a separately purchased Weather Shield or Sun Shield accessory with the recalled stroller, contact B.O.B. Trailers for a free canopy retrofit kit.

Thank you for posting this. Love my BOB. I don't have the drawstring so I guess mine is ok.

Thanks! This does affect ours. Looks like I need to get the kit to continue to use our weathershield with it after we remove the string.
