Britax Recalls B-Nimble Strollers Due to Risk of Brake Failure
Britax Child Safety Inc., of Charlotte, N.C.
Hazard
An audible click heard when the brake pedal is pressed can give a false impression that the brake is fully engaged when it is not. When the brake is not engaged, the stroller can move unexpectedly posing a risk of injury to the child occupant.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using their strollers and contact Britax for information and to request an improved replacement stroller. Consumers who resume use of their strollers while awaiting the replacement should always ensure that the brake is fully engaged.
Sold at
Juvenile product and mass merchandise stores nationwide and online retailers between September 2010 and June 2011 for about $200.
Affected count
About 20,000 in the United States and 800 in Canada
Injuries reported
Britax has received seven reports of the brake not being fully engaged. No injuries have been reported.
