216,000 Britax Single and Double Strollers Recalled due to Fingertip Amputation Hazard

| Feb 7, 2014 | Product Liability

Britax is recalling 216,000 B-Agile, B-Agile Double and BOB Motion child single and double strollers in the USA and another 8,800 in Canada.  The reason for the recall is when users fold the stroller; the hinge can partially amputate users’ fingertips, break their fingers or cause severe lacerations, when they press the release button while pulling on the release strap.  These strollers were sold in major retailers from May 2011 to June 2013.

The single and double strollers recalled are model numbers: U341763, U341764, U341782 and U341783 for the B-Agile strollers; U361818 or U361819 for the B-Agile Double strollers; and U391820, U391821 and U391822 for the BOB Motion strollers.  The model number and the manufacture date in YYYY/MM/DD format can be found on the label located on the inside of the stroller’s metal frame near the right rear wheel.  Britax has received eight incident reports from this defect.  These incidents include one partial fingertip amputation, one broken finger and severe finger lacerations.

CPSC [Consumer Safety Product Commission] recommends consumers should stop using the recalled strollers immediately and contact Britax to receive a free repair kit.  All registered owners of the affected strollers are being sent a free remedy kit that includes four (4) hinge covers that are designed to repair the defect.  An instruction sheet for installing the covers will be included.  Consumers can visit Britax’s website or contact Britax, (866) 204-1665 or [email protected] for more information.
