Bugaboo Strollers

The Bugaboo Stroller recall involves 22,500 “Bee” strollers made by Bugaboo Design & Sales, B.V., of the Netherlands, and distributed by Bugaboo North America Inc., of Hermosa Beach, Calif.  According to the recall notice, one or both sides of the brakes can fail, causing a stroller to unexpectedly roll away on an incline. This can pose a risk of injury to the child occupant.   There have been 121 reports of the stroller’s brakes failing. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled Bugaboo Bee strollers have item code 580210 on a label on the back of the seat and item code 50100 on a label on the plastic support under the seat. The strollers were sold in blue, dark khaki, pink, red, yellow, and black. “bugaboo® bee” is printed on the left side of the seat. They were sold at juvenile product retailers nationwide and on various Web sites from August 2007 through April 2009 for about $530.

Consumers should stop using the strollers immediately and contact Bugaboo to receive a free repair kit.
