Bugaboo Strollers Recalled Due to Brake Failure

Over 22,000 Bugaboo Bee strollers have been recalled due to problems with the brakes.  The manufacturer cooperated with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in announcing a voluntary recall of the Bugaboo stroller.

The Bugaboo Bee strollers, manufactured by Bugaboo Design & Sales, B.V. of the Netherlands, have been found to have faulty brakes.  Bugaboo has received a total of 121 reports from consumers regarding brake failure.  No injuries have been reported to date.

The brake failure is believed to be caused when one or both sides of the brakes fail, which may cause the stroller to roll away on an incline.  This hazard can cause injury to the young child occupying the stroller.

The affected strollers include those that have item code 580210 on a label on the back of the seat and item code 50100 on a label that can be located on the plastic support underneath the seat. The Bugaboo Bee strollers were sold in various colors, including dark khaki, pink, red, blue, black and yellow. The words, "bugaboo(r) bee," can be found on the seat’s left side.

These recalled strollers were sold at juvenile product retailers across the country and on numerous websites from August 2007 to April 2009 for approximately $530.

Bugaboo is offering a free repair kit, which can be ordered by contacting customer service at (800) 460-2922 between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
