Is my product affected?

B-Nimble Strollers

  • Brand Britax Child Safety Inc., of Charlotte, N.C.

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Britax is recalling B-Nimble umbrella strollers due to a brake defect. When the brake pedal is pressed, it makes an audible click that can falsely suggest the brake is fully engaged, but the brake may actually be disengaged. If the brake is not engaged, the stroller can move unexpectedly, creating a risk of injury to the child inside.

The recall applies to B-Nimble strollers manufactured on or after August 1, 2010, with model numbers U311771, U311773, U311775, or U311780. You can find the manufacture date and model number on a label on the lower frame/tube on either side of the stroller. The affected strollers were sold in black, silver, Cowmooflage (black and white), green, and red. According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop using their strollers and contact Britax for an improved replacement stroller. If a consumer must continue using their stroller while waiting for the replacement, they should always verify that the brake is fully engaged.

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.

What should I do?

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.
