Hazard

A drawstring on the stroller can get wrapped around a child's neck, posing a strangulation hazard.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled strollers and remove the drawstring. If using a separately purchased Weather Shield or Sun Shield accessory with the recalled stroller, contact B.O.B. Trailers for a free canopy retrofit kit.
