Plain-English summary

Regal Lager Inc. is recalling approximately 425 Phil & Teds e3 Twin Buggies. The recalled strollers feature a metal frame and side-by-side cloth seats and were sold in various colors, including red, orange, black, charcoal gray, and navy. The product is identified by the "e3 twin" embroidery on the front of each seat and the Phil & Teds logo on the crotch piece of each harness.
