The Explorer is a three-wheeled stroller available in black, apple green, navy, red/black, and apple green/black. The Hammerhead is a four-wheeled stroller sold only in black. Both models were sold as single strollers or with doubles kits and feature a phil&teds logo on the harness crotch piece and model identification on the rear axle bar.

Consumers with affected strollers should immediately stop using them and contact phil&teds to arrange a remedy. Explorer owners will receive a new frame with an upgraded brake assembly for an in-home swap. Hammerhead owners will receive a pre-paid return shipping container to send their stroller to phil&teds, where the brake assembly will be replaced and the stroller returned to them.
