Plain-English summary

B.O.B. Trailers Inc. is recalling approximately 411,700 single and double jogging strollers in the United States and 27,000 in Canada. The recall involves strollers manufactured between November 1998 and November 2010. The strollers were sold at retailers including REI, Babies R' Us, and Amazon.com for between $280 and $600.

The recall is due to a choking hazard where the backing patch of the embroidered logo on the stroller canopy can detach. The company has received six reports of children mouthing the detached patch, with gagging and choking reported in two incidents. In all reported cases, the backing was removed from the children's mouths without injury, and the children were seated in infant car seats attached to the strollers.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers until they remove the embroidery backing patch from the interior of the canopy's logo. Consumers should contact B.O.B. Trailers for instructions on removing the backing. For additional information, consumers can contact B.O.B. Trailers toll-free at (855) 242-2245 or visit the firm's website at www.bobnotices.com.
