For the second time in the last month, Britax will recall 49,000 B-Ready strollers and replacement top seats due to an arm bar defect.  The defect involves the foam padding on the stroller’s arm bar which can come off in fragments and presents as a serious choking hazard to the child if the child bites the arm bar.  There have already been a reported 117 incidents related to this recall, including five reports of children choking on the foam fragments.  This recall also includes 11,000 units that were sold in Canada.

The following B-Ready Strollers and B-Ready replacement top seats recalled were manufactured from April 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012.  Below is a list of the models included in the recall:

If you have one of the defective products, it is highly recommended that consumers immediately remove the arm bar from the stroller/replacement top seat.  Consumers should then contact Britax for a free black, zippered arm bar cover and a warning label to apply to the strollers and replacement top seats.  Consumers can continue to use their strollers without the arm bar attached.  Britax can be contacted at 800-683-2045 or at [email protected].

Previously, Britax recalled approximately 71,000 Britax B-Safe 35 and B- Safe 35 Elite infant car seat and travel systems due to a carry handle defect.

Americans rely on manufacturers to provide a safe well-designed product.  Sadly, that is not often the case.  The Auto Defect Attorneys at The Brandi Law Firm have successfully represented many people injured from defective autos such as Toyotas, Fords, Chryslers, Hondas, GM, and their component parts. Additionally, we have successfully represented people injured by defective helmets, bicycles, motorcycles, fuel pumps, brakes, car seats, seat belts, air bags, table saws, pumps, industrial machinery used in the workplace, barbeques, heating systems, and numerous other household and industrial products.

Often times, people involved in accidents do not examine the issues of defective product design, the risks inherent in the design, feasible alternatives, and appropriate warnings. In a car accident, we examine whether the car was truly crashworthy – does it contain the appropriate crash protection.  In accidents where someone strikes a guardrail, people often do not consider the guardrail may be unsafe, installed improperly, or whether there is a contributing factor in the roadway design leading to a dangerous condition.  We have represented a number of people seriously injured in these types of accidents involving dangerous conditions of roads and crashworthy vehicles.  If you or a loved one has been injured in an auto crash, our attorneys at The Brandi Law Firm are available to consult with you.  Please contact our office at 800-481-1615 or email us.
