Plain-English summary
Bugaboo International B.V. is recalling the carry handles on Bugaboo Cameleon and Bugaboo Donkey model strollers with detachable carrycots or seats. The recall involves about 46,300 units in the U.S. and 4,440 units in Canada. The strollers were sold in various colors with a base, sun canopy, and other accessories. A fabric tag on the side of the sun canopy displays the Bugaboo brand and model name. Affected serial numbers are printed on the stroller's chassis, located under the carrycot or seat.
A button on the stroller's carrycot or seat carry handle can become disengaged, causing the handle to detach. This poses fall and choking hazards to young children. Bugaboo has received 58 reports of carry handles detaching, but no injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately remove the carry handle from the strollers and contact Bugaboo for a free replacement handle. Consumers can continue to use the strollers while awaiting the replacement handle. The strollers were sold at Buy Buy Baby, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Toys R Us, other baby product stores nationwide, and online retailers including Bugaboo.com. The Bugaboo Cameleon was sold between September 2009 and June 2012 for about $980. The Bugaboo Donkey was sold from January 2011 through December 2012 for between $1,200 and $1,600.
