Plain-English summary
Thule Group is recalling approximately 4,000 Thule Sleek strollers in the United States, with an additional 880 units sold in Canada. The recall involves strollers manufactured between May 2018 and September 2019 that do not have a QC2020 sticker next to the product label. The strollers were sold in black, dark gray, light gray, navy blue, and red with a silver or black frame.
The recall is being issued because the stroller's handlebar can detach, which poses an injury hazard to children. Thule has received one report of the handlebar detaching, but no injuries have been reported.
Affected strollers were sold at Buy Buy Baby, REI, and other stores nationwide, as well as online at Thule.com and Amazon.com, from July 2018 through June 2020 for between $830 and $850. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers and contact Thule Group to arrange for the return of the product and to receive a free replacement Sleek stroller frame.
