Stokke, of Kennesaw, Ga., in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, has recalled about 2,000 Xplory baby strollers. A bolt that attaches each front wheel to the stroller can loosen, causing one of the front wheels to fall off and pose a fall hazard. The company has received 14 reports of one of the front wheels falling off in the United States, including one incident where a child received a scratch when she fell out of the stroller. There were 244 reports outside of the United States of one of the front wheels falling off.
The affected Xplory strollers have serial numbers between 1 and 28,097 and grey handles. The serial number is located under the foot plate, and the recalled strollers were sold between September 2003 and December 2006, retailing at $770. Strollers with white handles are not being recalled.
Consumers should stop using the stroller and contact Stokke for a free replacement of the front wheels. Stokke will contact all known purchasers by e-mail or regular mail. The manufacturer notified retailers and posted a recall notice on its Web site in May. Consumers who have already received a repair kit do not need to call again.
For more information, contact Stokke toll-free at (877) 978-6553 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit the company’s Web site at www.stokkeusa.com.
