Strollers Recalled Due To Strangulation Risk

March 1, 2011 Updated Mar 1, 2011 at 12:21 PM EDT

(WBNG Binghamton) B.O.B. Trailers Incorporated is recalling some single and double jogging strollers because of a strangulation hazard.

About 337,000 of the products were sold in the United States.

A drawstring on the stroller can get wrapped around a child's neck, posing a strangulation hazard.

The firm has received one report of an 11-month-old girl who got entangled at the neck by the stroller's drawstring.

The child was freed by her mother.

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.

Strollers have the serial number either stamped in the frame or on a white label located on the stroller's rear right leg.

Here are the recalled models, along with their serial number ranges:
