BOB Strollers are facing their second recall this year. \u00a0The first in February<\/a> was due to a drawstring that could get wrapped around a child’s neck. \u00a0This month’s recall <\/a>is due to a piece of cloth that may get detached posing a choking hazard.<\/p>\n

From the Consumer Product Safety Commission<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Health Canada, in cooperation with the firm named below, today announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed. It is illegal to resell or attempt to resell a recalled consumer product.<\/p>\n

Importer:\u00a0<\/strong>B.O.B. Trailers Inc., of Boise, Idaho<\/p>\n

Description:\u00a0<\/strong>This recall involves all B.O.B. strollers manufactured between November 1998 and November 2010. Strollers manufactured after October 2006 have a white label affixed to the back of the stroller’s leg with the manufacturing date. Strollers with no manufacturing date listed were produced prior to October 2006 and are included in this recall. The strollers were sold in single seat and double-seat models. The BOB\u00ae, Ironman\u00ae or Stroller Strides\u00ae brand name is embroidered on the canopy of the strollers.<\/p>\n

Sold at:\u00a0<\/strong>REI, Babies R’ Us and other children’s product and sporting goods stores nationwide and Amazon.com between November 1998 and October 2011 for between $280 and $600.<\/p>\n
