Britax Recalls Modified Thru-Bolt Axles for Use with BOB Jogging Strollers Distributed Through the BOB Information Campaign Due to Fall and Injury Hazards (Recall Alert)

Recall Insight

This CPSC action (record #19763) was formally reported on July 25, 2019. It is classified under Moderate severity, with a current status of Active. Britax Child Safety Inc., of Fort Mill, S.c. is listed as the recalling firm. Federal records list the affected scope as About 200.

The documented reason for this recall is: The modified thru-bolt on the front wheel can fracture, allowing the wheel to detach from the stroller, posing fall and injury hazards to children in the stroller and adults operating the stroller. Distribution information was not included in the agency filing, so consumers should assume broad potential exposure until the firm publishes point-of-sale details. The remedy documented by the agency is: Consumers should immediately stop using the modified thru-bolt axle installed on the front wheel of their BOB jogging stroller. Britax is contacting consumers directly who received the modified thru-… - consumers holding this product should act on that instruction rather than relying on general guidance.
