B.O.B. Trailers recalls about 337,000 Jogging Strollers.
A drawstring on the stroller can get wrapped around a child's neck, posing a strangulation hazard.
This recall involves 11 models of B.O.B. single and double strollers.
The name "B.O.B" appears on the cargo basket under the stroller and on the front of the stroller.
All of the recalled strollers have a yellow/orange drawstring at the rear of the canopy which is used to gather loose fabric when the canopy is pulled back.
They were sold at REI, buy buy Baby and other stores nationwide and on the Web between April 2002 and February 2011 for between $300 and $600.
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.
For additional information, or to order a canopy retrofit kit, contact B.O.B. Trailers at (855) 242-2245 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website at www.bobcanopy.com
