Plain-English summary

Baby Jogger LLC is recalling approximately 8,400 City Versa strollers in the United States and 2,200 in Canada. The recall involves all City Versa model strollers manufactured between May 15 and August 20, 2012. These strollers feature charcoal-colored metal frames with black, silver, red, or green fabric seats and canopies. The date of manufacture is printed on the black plastic side hinge below the "Baby Jogger" and "City Versa" labels.

The stroller frame can fail to lock in place and collapse while in use, which poses a fall hazard to children riding in the stroller. Baby Jogger has received six reports of incidents where the frame failed to lock, but no injuries have been reported.

The strollers were sold at buybuy Baby and other juvenile product stores nationwide and online at buybuybaby.com, albeebaby.com, diapers.com, and other online retailers from July 2012 through October 2012 for about $450. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers and contact Baby Jogger for a free replacement stroller frame. Baby Jogger can be reached toll-free at (877) 506-2213 from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or via email at [email protected].
